Summary

Setting SF_CONTENT_TYPE=JSON for at least two commands results in human readable output.

Steps To Reproduce

export SF_CONTENT_TYPE='json'
sf version | jq .cliVersion
sf commands | jq '.[0].id'

Expected result

Output should match --json output

$ export SF_CONTENT_TYPE='json'
$ sf version | jq .cliVersion
"@salesforce/cli/2.1.7"
$ sf commands --json | jq '.[0].id'
"alias:list"

Actual result

$ export SF_CONTENT_TYPE='json'
$ sf version | jq .cliVersion
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 22
$ sf commands | jq '.[0].id'
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 9
