I do wonder what percentage of folks are actually in a position to choose? For a lot of people they’re going to be interacting with JWTs because they’re dealing with someone else’s auth, so the more they know about this structure the better.

That's a great point. As a dev, lots of times you're working with an auth provider, either from a social login like Google or from a centrally managed service.
In either case, you can suggest "let's use <X> token" where X is paseto or something else, but you can't dictate it (Google certainly won't listen and change formats :) ).
