Only briefly. HAR is extremely verbose, which makes it impractical for storing large amounts of requests and responses. It's also not line based, not designed for easy streaming/filtering (it has header/config fields) and the more "granular structure" (e.g. HTTP headers are separate JSON objects) allows for less freedom in creating malformed requests, which can be desirable when trying to find bugs in web applications.
