Issues using `.json5` files for `appsettings.json`

I wanted support for trailing commas and comments in my

appsettings.json

appsettings.json

, so I decided to go with JSON5.
But here's the weird thing.
I can add trailing commas and comments to

appsettings.json

appsettings.json

and everything works perfectly fine. So far so good, but Rider complains that you can't have them in a json file.
No biggie, Rider supports

.json5

.json5

so I renamed the file to

appsettings.json5

appsettings.json5

and changed

Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddConfiguration(configuration)
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")

Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddConfiguration(configuration)
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")

Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddConfiguration(configuration)
    .AddEnvironmentVariables("ogma_")
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json5")

Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddConfiguration(configuration)
    .AddEnvironmentVariables("ogma_")
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json5")

And... now I'm getting NRE on one of the segments of the config. Everything starts working again as soon as I rename it back to

.json

.json

. I tried to be sneaky and use

.5.json

.5.json

with a file association in Rider, but no cigar, also getting NREs.
