I still don't know who uses this semantic web. Like you have all these semantics marked up... for whom? What are actual applications using this?

Google has a small subset of schema.org it supports, but rather than "semantic web" it feels more like "here's my API." Its own schema tester often complains about things that should be valid schemas, simply because it doesn't conform to its API. How would any web developer mark up (and test the validity of said mark up) for applications that don't even exist?
