So the whole world should suffer through vanilla JSON because someone, somewhere, has an overbearing and paranoid software approval process? That's the attitude the delayed universal unicode adoption by a decade.

That's a bit dramatic. This isn't something as universal as Unicode. You really only need to care about this if you're writing tools that generate or consume the DiffX format, which is not something most people will be doing. The whole world isn't suffering their decision to use JSON instead of JSON5.
