It seems to me that being free and open source, the first couple of points, hardly describes the salient features of Sage, simply because there are tens of thousands of other programs, including many many losers, which are also free and open source. It doesn't grab me. Wouldn't you describe GIMP, as an image processing program similar to photoshop, and afterward say it was free?
It seems to me the obvious first point for "Why Sage" is that Sage provides access to mathematical software. (I also find the mention that it runs on Python to be [probably unintentionally] deceptive since, of the hundreds of packages included, many (most?) are not running on Python, and thus a pythoner who expects to see open source python for them will be disappointed.)
