If the shard bag has no "use" or passive bonus, then it gives a benefit only to people who habitually carry more than 16 shards, and it gives a drawback to those who carry less.
Personally, I roll with around 12-15 shards at a time. Not having shadowburn, I find that sufficient. That means I relegate only one bag to shards - AND I use that bag for my Healthstone, as well as overflow space when I'm grinding. If I'm full up on vendor trash, I destroy some shards for extra room.
So for me, a shard bag gives me only the capability to carry more shards than I have been, at the cost of my overflow spots for HSs and loot.
So realistically, I would not use a shard bag with no bonuses. I have no reason to, and I have reasons not to. If the devs mean for the shard bag to be a "sought-after, must-have" item, then they simply need a bonus, period.
On the other hand, if the devs mean for shard bags to be "not for everyone" items that many warlocks will ignore (think firestones), then I suppose they're fine - if rather a poor showing for how many months they've been anticipated.
Just something Tseric might keep in mind for after the holidays.

Personally, I think the bags should have a class-specific or caster-specific bonus. I don't see the immediate detriment of making these akin to hunter pouches, but there may be some considerations I am not taking into account. While my personal feelings are irrelevant, it does appear many may share my sentiment. Therefore, I would like to discuss this more with the devs to get a more complete picture of these items.
Starin' you down, creepy jackalope eye...
