I don't believe classic ELB supports websockets[1] making this a tenuous comparison. There might be workarounds that I'm not aware of (our production network isn't currently on AWS so I'm a couple of years behind in my day-to-day experience with them).

That said, I don't dispute that there might be use cases where classic ELB is a better option. And I'm glad it's still available (as opposed to ALB replacing classic).

it supports any TCP-based protocol, like websockets or MQTT, similar to Network LB on GCE.
