Why are RDF containers (rdf:Seq etc.) so little appreciated?

In contrast to RDF collections (rdf:List), they have a stable identity and don't use nested resources (=easy to remove). Furthermore, standard RDFS inferencing can be used to infer membership as the property rdfs:member.

Yet, most RDF vocabularies that I know of use collections and syntaxes such as Turtle have syntactic sugar for collections, but not for containers. Why is that?
