Does #2 actually apply if there's no private data being stored? If posts could be private/unlisted and I could just increment the id to find some, I'd agree with you.

Look at HN for example. Everything is public and they use incrementing ids for posts and comments.

And it's a bit of security through obscurity. There is a value to to that but for something that's not storing sensitive data then who cares.
