I had a bit of a chuckle that apparently 5 out of 50000 opening "(" parentheses weren't closed, but then I saw that 2 out of 12000 "]" brackets weren't opened! What criminal is using these standalone?

There is the normal notation for half-open ranges, which would lead to unbalanced brackets.
Ah. Good point.
I hope you irony of your comment isn't lost.
Mixing them should be relatively common when denoting intervals, as in "(a, b]" or "[a, b)", so that'd be one cause for being unbalanced. But even so, the math on their usage still doesn't add up.
Probably not this, but J uses lonely brackets and braces as standalone operators: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc.
You won't like bra-ket notation then :)
I mean.... You just used those standalone.
