That’s not the point of JSONB. Use normalized tables whenever you can. JSONB allows you to store a document with unknown structure, and it allows you to access that data within SQL.
I run a web app that processes at least one third party JSON document that is so large it would exceed the table column limit if flattened out. It gets stored in a JSONB column. EFCore with Npgsql can query JSON documents in Postgres. Works just fine as long as you put indexes on the fields you’re going to be querying.
I really dislike JSonB in Postgres. Just use a ORM at that point.

Ok, I was wrong. The only example I have worked with was just someone being lazy.
I can’t muster any sarcasm out of sheer disappointment. You win this time…
