Figured that was probably the case...

Permanence.  When a secretary resigns/retires/whatever, how do you efficiently
transfer the organization-wide shares that they own?  A "Global" share 
wouldn't
be tied to any one account, but can be controlled by, at minimum, a user
designated as Administrator, and ultimately, their designee(s).  Although now
that I think about it, I suppose you could assign a new owner through the
Object Creator permission, with the current permissions system.  But thats
cumbersome, if you have a large number of shares.  Oh, you're retiring? 
  I have
to reassign 100 resources and calendars and the organization-wide addressbook
to your yet unhired replacement :)
