Not sure every software engineer needs to know this. If they'd said web developer I suppose this would really be expected knowledge, but then you'd probably want to shoot them anyway.

    Web developer, or business developer. A lot of inter-system communications these days is in JSON, whether there is any JavaScript involved or not.

    honestly, this is used for debugging. Why not just pass the object as value to the console.log()

    Stringify is used to serialize an object. This is useful if you are going to store the object or transfer the object contents to some other system or component, possibly over a network using a network protocol.

    For debugging, you should use a function like console.log, which depending on the client might even offer an interactive UI to explore the object with structurally aware context. Not just print a giant string, which you get from stringify.
