This has been discussed on this list around

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2020Jun/0006.html

RDF-star gives the building block(triple terms, <<>>) it does not 
necessarily address every usecase directly, somestimes it needs 
structure on top of the building block (this is true in RDF generally).
