RDFa/Microdata is more interesting for people whom sell objects instead of content. e.g. marking up that a page is about a kitchen cabinet that is 60cm wide and in the color white might lead to more sales in the long run. As people whom are looking for 60cm wide cabinets might get to your page instead of one about one 36 inch wide.

And even before thinking about that, you can actually put the dimensions in a description, which some do (like Ikea) and Google is definitely able to pick up on that, no RDFa was ever needed. As far as I can tell, LLMs can work that out just fine as well.
The problem with the metadata discussion is that if they are actually useful, there is no reason that they are not useful to humans as well, so instead of trying to make the human work for the machine it is much better to make the machine understand humans.
