What's an RGH?

It's just an alternative to specifying the IPC API used to talk back to the
host, and I can't see how its more restrictive to say "use this protocol"
(which can have any API you like layered over it) than "use this API".
Its also much less work to define an OSC dialect than to define a (cross
platform) IPC API.

Well, intra-(host+plugin+ui) yes. It would be nice to support, in a host
independent way, UIs running on different machines from plugins though.
