If you access something through an app rather than a web browser, the only way to get the url may be through the share button.

Oh that's true, I didn't consider that. I do usually copy the URL directly, because share buttons tend to add tracking parameters I'd have to remove manually. But I know many people don't even bother (or know about) that. Still, that's only the “share as link” button. Who knows how much the social share buttons actually get used.
