Probably no better or worse than the alternative. That aside, the example doesn't understand the standards in question. The governing standard for geospatial data representation is ISO 19125, which defines (longitude, latitude) order. GeoJSON naturally conforms to ISO 19125 since it is a format for processing data on computers. ISO 6709 is essentially a print formatting standard and orthogonal to storing geospatial data on computers. That some data file formats happen to be human readable does not make ISO 6709 apply. If you are processing geospatial data on computers the correct order is always (longitude, latitude).
