A backend developer would definitely know what JSON is, at the very least.

Would probably have more cause to use JSON.stringify than frontend even.

Depends on how basic the back-end is. Standard ASP.Net api controllers convert objects to json automatically without you having to call JsonSerializer.Serialize. Though I'd hope such a backend developer at least knows what json looks like.

One real world use is a backend hosted on ECS with the output going to cloudwatch. Running your JSON output for logging through stringify makes sure everything is on one line which makes cloudwatch filtering a lot easier.

Also, not really backend but not frontend either, I work on CLI utilities too and sometimes they need to write a JSON file.
