I'm going to ignore the remarks about controlling data on the Web, and
focus on the fact that this sounds like a giant science experiment.

How about if content-negotiated requests for the json-ld version of
schema.org's homepage had a 60 second (or so) pause built-in? That
ought to be annoying enough to encourage better use of caching and
avoidance of fresh fetches within tight code loops.

BTW is a redirect URL a legitimate response to such a request, or does
the JSON have to be returned directly?
