Wouldn't 426 be better for nonexisting api roots?

Sho, I don't know. Maybe?

I've never seen one in the wild, but looking at the docs is that error not reserved for using the wrong protocol (such as 1/1 when the server only accepts 2 or something?)

Official yes, but if you want to misuse statuscodes this would be a better solution in my eyes.
