Random examples of 5-7-5 texts in Japanese I found on Twitter:

- 送料は別途発生いたします(“Shipping calculated separately”)

- やかましい山に埋めるぞ六甲の(“shut up will bury you in mountain in Rokko”)

- 国内で確認された感染者(“infected individuals identified domestically”)

- 浴衣着て自撮りをすると怒られる(“taking selfies in Yukata will get blamed”)

- コンパイラバックエンド部全削除(“nuking compiler backend sections”)

- ラオスではコアラのマーチが大人気(“Coala’s March(snack) is quite popular in Laos”)

So I think more than half of its value has to be with something inherent to Japanese(language)
