The original version of HTTP was a deployed, functioning system that despite being far from perfect, worked. The original protocol (the one without persistent connections) also had unpleasant side effects (see http://www.ibiblio.org/mdma-release/http-prob.html if you'd like a refresher).  

However, instead of saying "deployed systems, no server operator has any incentive to change, let's just accept the status quo and make sure it doesn't happen again", the protocol was modified and people have largely migrated to the new protocol over a large number of years (still vestiges of the old protocol out there, but definitely a minority).

I suspect this won't matter. People's minds are made up.
