I don't reproduce the problem with recent versions of GDAL (2.4 and above)

Your original file is:

{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"name": "ne_110m_geography_regions_points",
"features": [
{ "type": "Feature", "properties": { "scalerank": 2, "featurecla": 
"waterfall", "name": "Niagara Falls"}, "geometry": { "type": "Point", 
"coordinates": [ -643212.061818000385017, 5765.686896063275327 ] } },
{ "type": "Feature", "properties": { "scalerank": 2, "featurecla": 
"waterfall", "name": "Iguazu Falls"}, "geometry": { "type": "Point", 
"coordinates": [ -52344.582997199603767, -25433.568291925005923 ] } }
]
}

The output:

WKT,scalerank,featurecla,name
"POINT (-643212.061818 5765.68689606328)","2",waterfall,Niagara Falls
"POINT (-52344.5829971996 -25433.568291925)","2",waterfall,Iguazu Falls


Note: it is quite risky to have a GeoJSON file using obviously non-WGS84 
coordinates without specifying in it the CRS in which they are encoding. This 
can confuse a lot of tools using GeoJSON.
