"“But it serves JSON” … is like buying a Bugatti Veyron, just to park it in your garage and use its exhaust fumes to dry your clothes 6 days of the week, with a 2 minute drive around the block on Sundays."
That is a very creative analogy, but not one I agree with.
My servers should do as little as possible. They should not serve files just for the sake of it, because they have all these shiny serving features.
And I like JSON as it is not as verbose as html and I can directly work with it in javascript. And then update my html where I need it locally.
If you prefer it differently, than this is fine. The web supports many ways.
