By far the largest adoption of JSON-LD, in terms of number of sites,
documents, triples... is from publishers of Schema.org data in JSON-LD.
Those structured data patterns make extensive casual use of blank nodes
(both in the examples published at schema.org, and in the more specific
application-specific examples we have published in Google documentation).
This was not an accidental choice but a consideration towards keeping
adoption burdens low on publishers to jump-start an ecosystem. Many Web
publishers simply lack the expertise and infrastructure to reconcile all of
their entity-mentions with well-known URIs...
