The Bug
Some areas where JSON text components are used have different default settings than just plain white text.
These areas include:
display.Name for items. (`italic` defaults to `true`)
display.Lore[] (`italic` defaults to `true`, `color` defaults to `dark_purple`)
give @s stick{display:{Lore:["{\"text\":\"This should not be italics and should not be dark purple\"}"],Name:"{\"text\":\"This should not be italic text...\"}"}}
tellraw @s {"text":"This is not italic text, nor dark purple text, while it’s formatted the same as the name and the lore of the item"}

Affects 1.13-pre5

Affects 1.13-pre6

Present in 1.13-pre7

And 1.13-pre8
Should this bug also cover the default style for lore (italic and color purple)? Or is that a separate issue / not an issue?
/give @s stick{display:{Lore:["{\"text\":\"The default style of lore.\"}"]}}
Edit:
I suppose it may not be an issue since that is always how lore has been.

I feel like the same thing applies there yea, I'll modify this report
