Can't hurt, especially since it's in Security Considerations.

It seems overly complicated for every specification to reference the flattened list of the entire tree of normative references.   This will in most cases result in a *very* long list of normative references which makes it difficult to focus the reader’s attention on the few specification(s) that are critically useful in implementing the specification.

THIS is the spec that implementers must understand.... and if they need to also understand HTTP, then they can follow RFC 7644’s normative references... and the normative references in those RFCs until they get to a level (like TCP, IP) where understanding the details is irrelevant.
