So ANSI SQL conform implementation of JSON support is still possible in Postgres.
It is possible, but in this case I think it's not worth it. Our built-in stuff is significantly simpler and more powerful and already in widespread use.
I can't to agree. JSONPath is little bit powerful than our JSON path expression. JSON_TABLE is pretty good function for extracting values from JSON (note: I missing XML_TABLE too much).
More - Postgres is not famous due not respecting standard.

It is worth keeping an eye on it and not create gratuitous conflicts.
