It's not necessarily that it's great for human consumption, more that it's super interchangeable and ridiculously easy to get up and running, and for the most part 90Gb of space is so cheap that it's not worth the overhead of using a binary format.
I'm guessing that OP wasn't parsing a single 90Gb object, but a stream of many newline delimited JSON objects.
Plus the human element helps.
