You can only say that if you don't understand NULL (you wouldn't be alone).
If I modify a JSON with an unknown value, the result is unknown.
This seems very intuitive to me.

One could argue that whoever uses SQL should understand SQL.

But I believe that it is reasonable to suppose that many people who
use JSON in the database are more savvy with JSON than with SQL
(they might not have chosen JSON otherwise), so I agree that it makes
sense to change this particular behavior.

Yours,
