But skos:note and its subproperties (including skos:example) can take literals or references [1]. To me, that weighs more than the baggage of minting two new terms.

Also, SKOS, unless care is taken to import the Owl-DL version, brings you into Owl-Full, with undesirable consequences for those who wish to do reasoning. In early versions of dwcFP, we did include SKOS terms, but removed them because of the consequences for reasoning.

SKOS has some nice terms, reuse is a nice idea, but it comes with significant knowledge engineering consequences.
