The reason that OHTTP itself exists is that it provides better performance than SHROTOC for small requests and responses, because the TLS handshake overhead is quite noticeable when the application data is small. This performance win justified the weaker security that OHTTP provides compared to SHROTOC. In particular, OHTTP lacks perfect forward secrecy and is vulnerable to replay attacks. Extending OHTTP to large messages creates something that has performance similar to SHROTOC but with much weaker security. If early data is considered useful, SHROTOC can leverage TLS 0-RTT with much better security properties: only the early data lacks PFS and replay-protection, any data exchanged after the client first's flights gets those protections. I'm opposed to creating a new mechanism when there is already an available solution with better security.
