There's a point where what you say is true but I would not view using 'jq' to tease a list out of some JSON data to be it. Isn't that what your python or go code is going to do? All jq is is a packaged set of calls to stdlib stuff.
Systems admins are generally not Python or Go experts. And those are two dependencies which may not be available anyway (or will require installation, and maintenancee, may introduce new vulns, etc.). You could say the same about 'jq' though.
