Your comment is so self aware, it's almost an AI. :D

#6Does ‘downloads per day’ actually mean anything? It could be someone large company’s CI system building on every commit.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a JSON5 file in the wild.
I’ve always wanted comments in JSON, but the other issues highlighted are not things I care about. The ‘be lenient in what you accept’ philosophy is a disaster, just look at HTTP… stricter is better IMO.

If you had OpenAPI to document the JSON, where would you use comments in the JSON payload?

Although I cannot assume, I'd at least hope that a "large company’s CI system" would cache the frequently encountered version(s) of a certain dependency :/
