Pretty much anywhere I've come across JSON (and xml before that,) everyone expected strong typing. The fact that JSON (and xml) can represent different data than they anticipated "did not compute" in their heads.
In many cases, they were treating JSON (and xml) as dumb serializers and not even paying attention to the output and corner cases.
