If you want to change that, you have to change the entire ecosystem,
not just the shell. You would have to teach every single program to
use a different structure.

A lot of programs already do support NUL-separation - usually with a
-z parameter or something. But you won't be able to magically get them
all to use JSON. And I doubt it would be advantageous anyway.
