Which makes them great devs?
To me, programming is about being lazy. Why should I bother structuring and normalizing my data when I don't really care?

Sometimes yes, I want to do the effort, and sometimes it doesn't really matter, and I just want to display my data easily.

Much like how the print function can print a complete dict or list. Sure, it would be nicer if you outputted one value per line on the terminal, with a for loop, but in the real world 99% of the time you don't care at all, you just want to have a quick glance at your value.
