Clients of a system don't know or care if the server actually constructed an object and serialized it. They care that they get the reply they expect, and do not care how it was constructed.

Right, but then you're just testing how fast a framework can vomit out a small string and some headers.

I'm not saying it's an especially useful benchmark, but it's intended to test something besides raw response speed.
