I have no problem with RDF data model although I don't see anything
special about it.

You can't compare XML with RDF. XML was generally accepted with minimum
controversy except from SGML folks. RDF, on the other hand, is
extremely controversial. Open Directory Project and RSS 1.0 use RDF,
but they didn't really need it. I don't know what practical RDF
applications you are talking about. If they are indeed 'popping up all
over the place' now, what were RDF folks doing all this time?
