It’s not anymore useless than a closing } or ], except since it has the tag name in it, so when I’m reading a highly nested object I’m not stuck in my text editor looking at a bunch of }’s at random indentation levels I have to scroll all the way back up to regain any context for. Tags are text which is visual structure I can choose to read, or choose to gloss over and use as bulk to shape the data in my head.
