Thanks Woody and Andrew for your answers, Type safety is a valid point. I'm all for type safety, however in this case I'm not convinced it's worth it since it's just a callable that takes a request and returns a response. It can't be any simpler (except maybe no arguments), and sometimes simplicity can outweigh doing everything by the book.
I think it's worth considering, especially because if you look at existing PSR-7 middlewares (expressive, slim, etc.), they use "callable $next". We have no idea how convenient it is (or not) to have that FrameInterface, because currently nobody uses that. It's risky to standardize something that nobody uses. TL/DR: reality trumps theory. Also I want to say how important the meta document is: it should contain justification for everything that was decided in a PSR.
