You are right in that it could have been much worse. However: giving a big advantage to a certain technology does get 
in the way of innovation in e.g. new video delivery technologies. And in the long run less innovation will not be to 
the benefit of the internet's users. We are already too locked in to tcp-port-80-and-443 as it is :(
