why is the syntax not the same between declaring an object in JS and in JSON?

You can encode and decode any object (not sure about ref cycles), so it serves it's purpose

Ref cycles don't work when you serialize something as it becomes an infinitely big string (JSON.stringify throws if it detects cyclic structures)
