can also use name instead of name:.name

I think jq is very elegant - genius even - but whenever I use it, I have to look up the docs for syntax. But I guess that's true for any infrequently used tool.

This exactly. I think JQ's problem in this regard is further compounded because its query language just doesn't feel like anything else most people have used, I've certainly never come across anything quite like it, anyway.
