JSON is about interoperability particularly between different teams or users.
Considering Capcom games are all from the same place, they really should have gone binary and at worst used a tool to read the json and write out something like protobufs.

Not only, Devil May Cry also uses RE:Engine.
All of their current gen games run on RE engine now, they've unified all their pipelines
Also Dragons Dogma
