At the next level up, though, there might be code that expects to be able to read a JSON config file at a certain location, and if it fails, it’s reasonable to report which file it tried to read, the line number, and what the error was.

Sure, but that's a different level with different considerations. The JSON parser shouldn't care about things like ‘files’ with ‘locations’; maybe it's running on some little esp8266 device that doesn't have such things.
