I guess I'm ignorant then! When I looked up domain sockets and so on it turned out to be different APIs for different OS:s, and it's significantly nicer to rely on a single API surface from the std lib. Maybe it's a habit thing as well, but to me pipes are more esoteric and harder to find docs about than network sockets.

But they are not (named) pipes, it’s the same api. Just speak http or whatever over the socket. Afaik, windows also seems to support it these days
