While I agree that benchmark are somehow problematic, many of the critisms in the Reddit comment are pretty void once we do not targets a browser or theory. When I have an IoT device I do not care about content negotiation or the content type. I send my stuff up using some HTTP I use.
Is it fair in the comparison? Nope. Comparing oranges with apples is always bad. The question however is whether you want an Apple or an Orange?
TechEmpower has to be read like that: plaintext ensures the HTTP server stack and the base runtime. Json is about json encoding and emitting. Single query and multiple query about streaming data through. The benchmark is gradually testing your platform. .NET Core was bad at Plaintext. Now they are top 10. Now they realized the default json library (Newtonsoft.Json) of .NET is very nice but too slow. So they built a new one (System.Text.Json). Now the PostgreSQL Driver sucks. So they find and support the driver project. Like that you built a platform which is top notch.
