The biggest difference for those protocols I believe, is that they A) have
directory listing as part of their protocol concepts and B) don't need any
extra 3rd party lib to handle the directory linstings. HTTP has no directory
listings. PROPFIND is "just" webdav which is a protocol on top of HTTP.

To me it feels like a layering violation, but I'm open for what others think
and say.
