Current Java client does not have a way to generates a http client with ClientConfig clientConfig.
When we give URL remoteAddress to the AppiumDriver, it generates a default clientConfig as below to create a http client instance. So, in case users want to configure proxy etc to the http client, they need to define their own http factory method for now.

                        ClientConfig.defaultConfig()
                                .baseUrl(Require.nonNull("Server URL", ofNullable(service)
                                        .map(DriverService::getUrl)
                                        .orElse(addressOfRemoteServer)))
                                .readTimeout(DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT),

It seems like recent selenium v4 java client allows users to configure the http client (with the default netty client) by giving clientConfig like:

ClientConfig config = ClientConfig.defaultConfig()
        .connectionTimeout(Duration.ofMinutes(5))
        .readTimeout(Duration.ofMinutes(3));

WebDriver driver = RemoteWebDriver.builder()
        .oneOf(browserOptions)
        .setCapability("sauce:options", sauceOptions)
        .address("https://ondemand.us-west-1.saucelabs.com/wd/hub")
        .config(config)
        .build();

Current out method does not provide the same syntax, but it would be worth giving users to configure the http client with ClientConfig without defining HTTP factory method. Many examples in the internet explain factory method with okhttp, but selenium v4 no longer supports okhttp by default. So this ClientConfig method helps users to configure client proxy etc than defining their own factory.

In case a user wants to define their own http client, they can use existing method to start a driver with HttpClient.Factory
