I'm also rather curious about the claim that no "charset" parameter
is needed as it "really has no effect on compliant recipients".  Why
is this not a good way to communicate whether UTF-8, UTF-16, or
UTF-32 is in use for a given text?

It might have been, but that's now how it is implemented.

Indeed, and the reality is that JSON over UTF-16 or UTF-32 simply does not 
exist as an interchange format, so the algorithm is to always just assume UTF-8.
