The same reason that "client canceled stream %ui" does, it's more
appropriate error message.

I believe that clients can send RST_STREAM with NO_ERROR when they are
satisfied with the response they received, but didn't receive
END_STREAM flag yet. One example of such behavior might be a client
that received all DATA frames (as indicated by Content-Length or other
application-level mechanism) but is still waiting on HEADERS frame
(with trailers), that it doesn't care about.

Note that this is more theoretical scenario and I'm not aware of any
popular clients doing this right now.

Best regards,
