I'm okay with throwing away structure sometimes - it does make sense when, if you're at the point where you need to manipulate the output JSON while being abstract enough to not care about the input, I could see why you'd want to ignore it. But when the language syntax makes that hard or inelegant to do it's kind of a pain. As a point of comparison, ReasonML and ReScript both have great ways to express JS-like objects with types (OCaml, which both are based on, suffers from a slightly more verbose syntax), and TypeScript of course leads the way in making dynamic-ish objects still work. Ideally I'd find a functional language with row polymorphism that also had a great ecosystem, but that's asking for too much.
