> Is it so complicated to work with a duplex-stream? It's not that duplex-stream is complicated, it's just that request/response semantics are much more suited for most use cases. Where duplex streams make sense, we now have websockets. Even then, on top of that you'll end up implementing stateful request/response semantics because you need some structure unless you're literally dumping binary data into the socket.
