It is just that it has been a bit slow. Why "inevitable?" People make their webpages available b/c the benefit of being "heard" by a wider audience is worth the cost of admission. The cost/benefit picture for creating RDF for the consumption of others isn't as clear. The HTML involved very minimal effort in order to participate. Perhaps a useful question to consider would be comparing the effort in the average webpage versus Linked Data or RDF or RDFa? Such a study may already exist and if so, I would appreciate a reference to it. Hope you are at the start of a great week!
