Bloating HTTP and its implementations for REST-specific use-cases

I have no idea what are you talking about. Setting a request/response header is not bloating HTTP. That's like claiming that setting a field in a response body is bloating JSON.

Proper HTTP implementations in proper languages utilize header-name enums for strict checking/matching, and for performance by e.g. skipping unnecessary string allocations, not keeping known strings around, ..etc. Every standard header name will have to added as a variant to such enums, and its string representation as a constant/static.

Not sure how you thought that shares equivalency with random JSON field names.
