Ask HN: Why isn't Excel and Google Sheet having a JSON export option?

Because it can already export to CSV/TSV and exporting to json has no direct added value?

Note that Excel and Google Sheet can also not export to sc (spreadsheet calculator), to DuckDB, etc. Just because something is possible, does not mean it therefore must exist.

JSON is less sketchy than CSV because of many security risks (https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/279321/preventi...). I can foresee this be added in the future alongside CSV because it's more solid

Because json is not an common format?
