For 500 a ticketing or a contact info to report the problem
For a 404 whatever can help the user finds it way
For congestion status a link to a status page?
For stuff 40? that requires payment a link with a link for legitimately acquiring it ...
The webmasters email in case there is something to report could be nice too ...
It really is business meaningful to customize them, I fully support shaming irresponsible webmasters that keep default status pages with comic sans MS.

Until they have a filesystem failure that results in the server unable to locate the custom pages, and defaults to rendering the Comic Sans page? Even responsible developers find themselves hitting the consequences of the chaos monkey.
- pkz 11y agoI could not find a config setting for httpd in OpenBSD that allows me to specify custom status pages.
