Can't any data also be serialized as a string? Does that mean "string payload" is good enough for exchanging data between systems?

  Bingo.

    Everything is encoded in bits. What's like, the difference between anything?

    I guess my point was that I'm rather on the side of "Ok then maybe it is still worth finding a serialization format that maps better to my domain, like perhaps that can serialize numbers with the same precision without having to route them through a string and back." This is like claiming that it's not worth comparing programming languages because machine code is Turing complete.
