Companies use open-graph because it gives them something in return (nice integration in other products when linking to your site). That’s nice and all but outside of this niche use case there is no incentives for a semantic web from the point of view of publishers. You just make it simpler to crawl your website (something you cannot really monetize) instead of offering a strict API you can monetize to access structured data.
