Supporting more than GET/POST in HTML forms has been my dream for decades. There's a WHATWG proposal to do just that if you want to add your voice: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11347

I'm not convinced of the benefit of allowing PUT/PATCH/DELETE in forms. But QUERY sounds more useful, and its lack of side-effects (plus the lack of legacy code using it) would avoid the need for CORS preflight requests.

There is a separate issue for QUERY: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/12594
