MQTT is a proven protocol. It's design started started more than 20 years ago. The protocol was designed to be easy to implement. It is simple to implement if you want. There are multiple brokers, and client libraries available. So why invent a new protocol, when an open, standardised protocol already exists. Open pages in a browser are not that different from IoT devices. |

Because despite being a dinosaur, it still only has middling adoption. It exists in a particular niche of a particular niche of computing.
HTTP, in contrast, is English to MQTT's German. One is just infinitely more common and accessible to the majority of the world. So, if you're serious, use it.
