Google has been pushing JSON-LD to webmasters for better SEO for at least 5 years, if not more: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/intro-structured-data https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structu...
There really isn't a need to do it as most of the relevant page metadata is already captured as part of the Open Graph protocol[0] that Twitter and Facebook popularized 10+ years ago as webmasters were attempting to set up rich link previews for URLs posted to those networks. Markup like this:
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
is common on most sites now, so what benefit is there for doing additional work to generate JSON-LD with the same data?
