I think it also doesn’t help that only 4XX (client error) and 5XX (server error) are defined as error status codes, and 4XX errors don’t even necessarily indicate that anything happened that shouldn’t happen (need to reauth, need to wait a bit, post no longer exists, etc).
Trying to think of what 6XX would stand for, and we already have “Service Unavailable” and “Bad Gateway”/“Gateway Timeout”, so I guess 6XX would be “incompetence errors”. 600 is “Bad Implementation”, 601 is “Service Hosted On Azure”, 602 is “Inference Failure” (for AI stuff), and I guess 666 is “Cloudflare Outage”.
When laypeople see “404” I think they generally think of something other than “status” code, but I suppose you are correct.
