> Presumably people will want to share the posts somewhere; a nice set of open graph metas goes a long way.

Genuine question - what does this enable? I assume the big guys love the additional tagging for engaging similar content, but what else is there?

It lets you decide how a link you share is presented on a variety of supporting platforms, with a few bits of metadata. You can control whether/how it presents your page's title, a preview image, summary/description, and who it's attributed to. All of which are desirable for content authors, not just those platforms.
