I say that people who assume the spec does things it does not and then build a business model based on that assumption deserve it to fail horribly and painfully.
Well, in this conceptual model, the entire Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 business ecosystem was born upon the wrong assumption that the HTTP protocol (and all other protocols with long-living connections in general, by the way) could've provided business continuity with external threats in mind.
This is now the world we live in. It's not perfect, nor that it ever pretended to be, but companies within that ecosystem are worth trillions, so I guess the initial assumption for all practical intents and purposes is here to stay, would one like it or not.
