The requirements back then were different. You didn't have highly
interactive code running in the browser like you have today and for that
HTTP was perfect.
The nice thing of HTTP is that it is very simple: Message, response. Stop.
That alone is enough to explain its success. And in this sense, it was a
brilliant idea.
The bad idea was that HTML became the standard for remote GUI.
HTML = HyperText Markup Language
And a web GUI is anything but text these days.
