Maybe my people were special in some way, but it seemed like the idea of lining things up vertically just immediately clicked with them. It seems like it's something that folks do in their regular lives when writing (hand-written) notes or on a whiteboard. People have strange trouble with delimeters. They put commas inside the closing quote, (e.g. ["hello," "there"]) because I guess that's how they were taught in English class somehow. They forget a bracket and then can't figure out how to fix it because the tools are no help. They start putting in excess braces like they're some type of Simon Says: [{"hello"}]. I guess I can't be critical -- this is a lot like how I write CSS. But whitespace makes more sense to a lot of folks because it just "looks right". TOML is a decent format because it does use whitespace for delimiting -- but only newlines. It gets verbose if you want to represent large amounts of deeply-nested data, though.
