You mean fetch()?  :)  Yes, the idea here is that raw XHR is insufficient.
Saying "XHR is all you need" is like saying "TCP is all you need".

There are plenty of standardized things that are effectively HTTP APIs.
See, for example:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7030
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8555
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8620

... in addition to many examples outside the IETF.
