A large part of the problem is that people want to be able to "just" de-serialize a chunk of JSON into a suitable generic structure they can then "just" de-reference as a suitable tree of dictionaries and arrays. It'd be fantastic to see easier-to-use patterns to discourage resorting to this, but it's very hard to beat for simplicity.
