I unironically disagree with this, structured data is incredible and powerful.

But an important part of the early internet was "its Just Text".

And in fact, the reason why JSON is so great is that if you want to use it as Just Text it works just the same!

It's a translation layer between systems that really demand highly structured data and flexible systems where as long as you can thunk about it, you can get from anywhere to anywhere else with a few simple programs that are on every machine in tbe known universe.
