Correct.  More than that, there has been a GSoC project on this topic in 2014.

I think this project requires very deep understanding of strace code.
To implement structured output in the right way, a lot of small and
repetitive changes would have to be done, almost every function would have
to be overhauled, all tprints and tprintf calls would have to be replaced.
All this needs a good test coverage.  In other words, this project is
definitely not something for the faint of heart.
