CLI API users lack reliable HTTP/2 and reusable request files
Some HTTPie users report that sending HTTP/2 requests depends on a plugin that is hard to install or crashes at runtime, and one user says they switched to curl. Other HTTPie users want to define and run requests from reusable `.http` files. A small CLI API client could address both needs, though the reports don’t establish how widespread or current they are.
For API developers who prefer command-line request workflows. Mentioned from Aug 2018 to Nov 2021 on GitHub.

This old hyperframe is not available for my Arch Linux, so I cannot install hyper and thus httpie/http2 (well, I can install, but it crashes in runtime)
httpie/httpie-http2 doesn't come out of the box when httpie gets installed, many people would just never know that this plugin even exists. 1. Linux distributions do not provide a package for that plugin
