It's not what you can do, but what you have to do. Websockets are to Server-Sent Events as jet planes are to wheelbarrows. Yes, the stuff jet planes can carry is a superset of the stuff wheelbarrows can carry, but the cost is greater and it ends up being a suboptimal in many cases where you'd want to use a wheelbarrow.
