Sure, that explains why people pronounce it that way now. What I'm wondering is why people started pronouncing it that way in the first place. When I see the letters JSON, my brain parses it as J-SON. It's even a common first name ffs.

I couldn't say. There is an older guy in my group who calls it "Jason". Also we have 2 guys on my team named Jason and the back end jason now goes by J-Sahn. I have always read it j sahn and I have no idea why.
