Exposing the sharing intent is a problem, not a goal.

Sharing a link is easy. That's why URLs were invented. Exposing the sharing intent is only beneficial to companies that want to track you.

Sure, pressing "share on facebook" might be slightly lower friction than copy-pasting the link, but if the sharing isn't worth that friction, perhaps don't?
