>>as link speed went up, so it was considered not worth it.

network characteristics are not all tending towards unformly
high link speeds with uniformly low error rate,
and the need to conserve power can be important as well.  i think it's also interesting
having a connection protocol oriented towards rpc (-ish) interactions
not varying undelimited byte streams.   there probably are other candidates
but the code is already there for this one.

on small devices i sometimes ditch tcp completely in favour of il and/or
other things.
