That fetch requires so many users to rewrite the same code - that was already handled well by every existing node HTTP client- says something about the standards process.
It could also be trivially written for XMLHttpRequest or any node client if needed. Would be nice if they had always been the same, but oh well - having a server and client version isn't that bad.
Because it is so few lines it is much more sensible to have everyone duplicate that little snippet manually than import a library and write interceptors for that...
(Not only because the integration with the library would likely be more lines of code, but also because a library is a significantly liability on several levels that must be justified by significant, not minor, recurring savings.)
