Why is there the notion of nesting in the first place? It doesn't seem to comply with the JSON definition (there is no limit on nesting in the language, or is it?) . How was the exact value of JSONWriter.maxdepth determined? Why is it not exposed / overrideable via constructor?

Nesting is generally useful to a point. Beyond that point, excessive nesting is either a bug or an attack.
If you want to expose maxdepth, you have the source.
