They won't. In fact it is already implemented. Try `ip -json addr`.

Not all subcommands support it though.

There's another universe near ours where libxo caught on widely, and every command supports text and JSON output out of the box:

Which version has implemented this? It's not available here.

  rascul@coyote:~$ ip -json addr
  Option "-json" is unknown, try "ip -help".
  rascul@coyote:~$ ip -V
  ip utility, iproute2-ss160111

Looks like it was added in August of last year. Obviously newer than what my distribution has.
