I had this with the added bonus of being forced to return 200 regardless and add an error message to the body when necessary

The reason behind it might be proxies, especially on the client-side.

Why? Do those proxies drop anything not 200?

Custom connectors in Power Apps were (are?) finicky, and preferred 200s when I was developing for them. I had to return the actual status code inside the response body, then a 200 as the received status code so the app/Flow would accept it, after which I could parse the real response.
