Comment(by RvdH):

 Modern browsers nowadays don't send bogus requests. But the point is: not
 all clients are browsers. Actually, more and more of the clients are non-
 browsers.

 If you develop web services (i.e. server-to-server communication), it a
 extremely useful to have a web server that sends you correct status codes
 back, so you know what you did wrong as a developer.

 That's why (claiming to be an HTTP server) it matters what you send back
 and that's why it matters that you adhere to the HTTP standard.
