Why:
a) Squid does not implement a "cache farm monitor" collecting information
about all members in a farm and presenting it as a single entitiy to
others.
b) Squid does not yet fully support Vary/Etag, so the HTTP headers are
rarely needed to determine which object version the client requested.

Today yes, except that HTCP makes bigger network overhead, is much less
tested, and seems to lack access controls limiting who may send HTCP
queries to you, and also lacks logging capabilities..
Or in short, the HTCP implementation in Squid is not very useful, and is
not likely to be cared for until Squid really has use of HTCP.
