Except that [e a v t] facts in Datomic are ordered and not necessarily
unique, and that's my part of my point. A collection/stream of variants (or
tuples that contain some manner of [k v] part) are map-like but often have
additional properties, such as ordering.

And what happens if I want to stop processing the request the moment I hit
the request method? For example:

  (fn [req]
    (go
      (match (<! req)
        [:request/method :post] (close! req)
        [:request/method :get] (onto-chan req example-response))))

Again, the problem with a map is that it is unordered and fixed. Sometimes
it's useful to process a stream of key/value pairs over time.
