I've always thought ROS was largely meant for prototyping. An http transport layer for all nodes (even on the same machine) doesn't seem like the right choice for a production system.

You end up with something that feels academically wrong to be in production spaces, but you also end up with something that actually sold and shipped. Establishing a product feedback loop sooner is more valuable than selling a technically "correct" product. Also it's TCP (or UDP if you want) not HTTP. ROS2 does one better with DDS.
