That HRs read CVs in formats as they were submitted isn't universal. Most CVs go through parsers and presented in a standardized format. I have not seen good PDF parser and that means what they read is with noise, biased against a good outcome for the candidate.
The industry could simply standardize a JSON structure and ask candidates to submit in such a format.
and that people with bachelors degree cannot teach themselves how to write simple JSON structure is laughable.

That's not the point. Would they want to? Would they need to? How many technical people would actually submit a resume or CV as JSON? This seems a bit edge case-y. Interesting, but edge case-y.

What would they do with it?
Which format is easier to read and write?
