Is this article suggesting that all platforms allow json export of data? Like who would actually want this??

Who wouldn't want that? Obviously, the average user isn't going to know what to do with it, but other apps/services could use it to transfer data to/from it.

Interoperability is always good for users.

This is required by law in the eurozone and has been for some years now.

Users must be able to get their own data exported, in some useful format.
