I have no strong opinion here, 501 arose from discussion on the IWC Slack.
My API experience falls into REST and deep-stack buckets. Micropub is lighter weight than any non-REST protocol I've used or implemented over HTTP, so it "feels" right for it to act RESTy.
To defend my recommendation, if it's not appropriate to use HTTP codes, why does the spec call for the use of 4xx codes, rather than replying with a 2xx that includes error details?
