The way I interpret the modern use of "so" is that the speaker lacks the confidence to express what they are about to say and uses "so" as an introduction to their comment. The scenario is that someone wants to say something and creates a slight pause by saying "So", "Right", "Now then", "I mean" and such unnecessary words.
