There is ample documentation on how to extend the Flask JSON encoder to handle numpy, but it didn't seem to work. Cowboy up.

What's the purpose of this?

IIRC, it's to prevent having to know which fields require custom, manual conversion. Manual conversion means it has to be maintained when things change, and you can get it wrong. Encoders just know. Flask has a few built-in encoders for common types, but it doesn't know about numpy. IIRC. Should have recorded this all in the original issue.
