This is a fair observation. If we provide a second view here that reorganizes the data toward something more appropriate for monitoring systems to process it, you may be right that the result will be a step backwards for making it human-readable. They may end up being similar, co-existing views aimed at different uses, rather than one clearly replacing the other one day.
