Depending on how many layers of abstraction you have, your app may not have access to the raw HTTP response.

That sounds like either over-abstraction or bad abstraction then

Yea, I don't really see a scenario where you are both, making http requests (and therefore care about http responses), and also not able to see the response.

If you are using some wrapper client for an API, you wouldn't be dealing with the response anyway so it being in json isn't particularly helpful
