Resolution Note:
The code provided uses UnityEngine.JsonUtility. This component works on top of Unity Serialization which only supports serializing fields (not properties). See https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/JsonUtility.FromJson.html.
The structure in the code have only public properties, which are ignored by Unity Serialization. Changing them to public fields make it work as expected.
