I got to jq for the same reason I go to regular expressions. If you tell me this is too complex
(?:[A-Z][a-z]+_?(\d+))
Then I don't know what to tell you. Do you think that's too complex and should be a python script too? I don't think so. It looks complex, but if you just learn it, it's easier than a 'simple' script to do the same thing.
I'd argue it's good code if you don't have to sift through lines of boilerplate to do something so trivial in jq or regex syntax.
