For sure there are good reasons to abandon or find alternative resourceful protocols!

But in general, http is & could be the de-facto really good resourceful protocol. It's already 90% there.

Alas, the browser has been a major point of obstruction & difficulty & tension in making the most obvious most successful most clearly winning resourceful protocol at all better. The browser has sat on it's haunches & pissed around & prevented obvious & straightforward incremental growth that has happened everywhere else except the browser, such as with http trailers, such as with http2+ push. The browser has kept the de-facto resouceful protocol from developing.

You dont have to believe in http as the way to see what an oppressive & stupid shitshow this is. Being able to enhance the de-facto protocol of the web better should be in everyones interest, in a way that doesnt prevent alternatives/offshoots. But right now only alternatives & offshoots have any traction, because the browsers have all shot doen & rejected doing anything to support modern http 2+ in any real capacity. Their http inplementations are all frozen in time.
