HTTP was designed for a specific use case: communication between a browser and a server. The same is true for JSON. Is also often a good idea to use HTTP ports for things like mobile apps because a significant number of people need to use them from networks that block other ports (e.g. when using corporate wi-fi). The problem is that HTTP and websockets are used inappropriately.
