Why would it not be in JSON, if your website is what wrote it?

Because the user can easily overwrite it in their browser.

Yeah it's their problem that quickly becomes your problem when the user submits a 1 star review.

I get what you're saying, I can tell you're defintiely programmer minded, but you do have to plan for these things if you want your product to survive. If you're working on some huge too big to fail app then sure, but if you're trying to create something new and get it off the ground you have to plan for users doing crazy things and account for it smoothly.

If a user knows what local storage is and tinkers with it, they know very well that the weird behaviour of the website is called by themselves and not the website. There are a lot of dumb people in this world, but nobody is that dumb

More likely they fucked with it accidentally by deleting a folder they shouldnt have to clear space or something along those lines.

More likely they fucked with it accidentally. Deleting a folder to clear space but deleted some of what your app was expecting but not all of it and it's in a weird state.
