Why are we even escaping them by default, it should be the

Really? I always see escaped slashes in JSON, e.g. wikipedia
does this, but everything else too.
I'm going to assume that JS is probably the most used language
for JSON, since it originated from it, so a small demonstration
will show you that even JS defaults to not escaping slashes:
```
let o = { a: "/path/to/something" };
console.log(JSON.stringify(o));
```
Output:
```
{"a":"/path/to/something"}
```
