I didn't follow that development. Can you share why Selenium maintainers chose not to implement headers? Is it that they want to restrict the tool to simulate what a normal user can do with a browser and not hacks such as overriding headers? Thanks in advance!

"Something something something normal users can't do that something something". Basically, they're still stuck in this idea that they're ONLY for emulating user-available input (and the dev-tools don't exist). In reality, there is tremendous interest in more complex programmatic interfaces, but apparently they're unwilling to see that, and are instead only interested in their implementations "user-only" ideological purity.
