>From what I can tell, the -listen option does not implement a full multi-client network server. It only serves a single client and then exits. So, yes, it is pretty much normal. For simple use-cases, if you want to serve a file to a restricted set of clients via HTTP, it's probably best to use a normal web server, like Apache httpd or nginx, or use Python's web server module if you're not afraid of writing a few lines of Python code. There's no need to involve FFmpeg at all, unless you want to transcode the file on the fly. In this case you should take the performance implications into account when multiple clients request the file at the same time.
