I am using
facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=...&caption=...&description=...
Because it allows me to dynamically set the content of the share dialog box.
I do not understand why an app_id
is required for this.
Any thoughts?

per the documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ the app_id is used to identify your app so the following requirement can be confirmed by Facebook's backend systems. That requirement is "Note that the above example assumes that the user is already logged in and has authorized your application."
The old sharer.php is being deprecated. I could only assume that it is due to abuse from people using it without having an app or a user's authorization. Remember the days when we could trust our neighbors and leave our doors unlocked? Those days are no more.
