There's no ordering in HTTP. If you could send a whole HTTP request as a UDP packet you'd get exactly the same protocol (obviously sans WebSockets - but you could work around that).

There are numerous valid HTTP payloads that are larger than a single TCP/UDP packet.
Ordering is important in these cases.
