I very much second your opinion. It does not matter what the draft/RFC says
the use cases are or should be. Once it is documented, it can be
implemented and used in other ways. So any "restrictions" in the document
is going to be very much advisory, at best. Brave implemented IPFS, search
engine, they may decide to run their own proxies and make all traffic
OHTTP, no one could stop them.

This is why if we want to give users control of who they want to trust as
proxies, there should be a way for them to detect and select who they trust
to protect their privacy.
