diagnistics/debugging. Quite many command line or CLI tools do display
the reason phrase on non-200 responses for information to the user on
what is going on.

True. And I don't think there is a need for this, but suspect some
people in areas where english isn't seen as a common language may
differ. The majority most likely do not care at all however.
