This is what I figured would be the reason to remove comments, because they would hold some other non-human information. It's unfortunate that people do this. The main reason for comments for me would be for config files, which maybe shouldn't be in JSON anyways.

I think this is a bit of 'over reach' in what JSON was intended to do, so it's perhaps not surprising that there may be some things 'lacking' for that purpose.
