When considering millions of connections spread across many servers, short-lived https connections are much easier to load balance and plan for than long-lived websockets. Websockets certainly have their advantages, but in this case https is much more appropriate, and also easier for 3rd party developers to pick up and use.

`https` connections are exactly the same as `wss` connections, except they're "upgraded" `https` connections. Also, the fact they are now using `keep-alive` would negate your point that they're extracting some benefit by using "short-lived https connections".

Except, they do not scale well. Go try to load balance millions of websocket connections and see how that goes :)

Exactly. We have difficulties with performance already. This approach will only worsen the situation.
