Very good point, thanks for the writeup. Maybe JWTs are good for specific cases but as most people relally use DB for other stuff anyway, it doesn't really bring up any practical advantage. They are just "cool" and look clever so people probably started using them without proper reasoning. This resembles NoSQL and an attempt to burn oldschool SQL servers with hopeless attempts to go back later where more complicated "join-like" requirements emerge.
