I don't know what motivates the change, hope it's worth it.

The origin of having to add this $JQ is because ubuntu docker provided by github at some point removed jq from the pre-installs, and at that time the build system has not been utilizing nix yet.

The npx performance seems unnecessarily poor, indeed, though it's not the primary goal of the build system; the primary goal should still be reproducibility.

However, since we now already use nix, I might as well revert back and use jq directly assuming either it's run in nixified build system or locally that you have jq installed (nix or non-nix way).
