My workflow involves sharing bits and pieces of plain text with non-org users and, right now, this means hacking and slashing org files to remove org guff, putting org guff back in to edited plain text, or trying to resolve diffs between org and non-org plain text files. So a plain text file that has org-mode metadata rather than integrated org guff has a lot of appeal. I could send out the plain text, receive edits and the metadata would preserve the org state.
