As one of the authors of RFC8914, a bit of context:  this was heavily
discussed in the creation of RFC8914 and the decision at the time was
that yes the extra-text field should exist, and should be useful for
human consumption.  But note that it does not state "users" as the
thinking at the time was it wasn't for end-users in browsers or other
contexts, but rather for logging and reading by network administrators.
Getting text right to show to end-users is far far harder (as we've
learned) than getting it right for network operators that have a lot
more experience in reading and understanding error messages.
