TBH I wonder why response header requirements can't be set right in the meta tags in index.html. Would this be any different than having a provider-specific config file next to index.html from a security pov?

Some of them can be, but not all. Some headers are needed before the content is loaded. With ubiquitous virtualisation these days, I don't see why hosting providers can't allow users more control over their server without compromising security.

You don't even need virtualization at all. Apache have allowed this for twenty years!
