You still haven't given any specific real world use case in which brand:wikidata would actually be helpful and somebody would -really- want to consume it. Outside of than that it would obviously be good for wikidata and for people going to linked data conferences. My take is that it adds a nearly impossible to maintain (consider your own Woolworth's example), non-speaking, foreign key for additional information that is already that is already quite adequately provided by the brand key.
