Nostr Web Client

I've started programming seriously only 4 months ago, so there are many things that I still don't understand. Here is one:

Why do we always use websocket to connect to relays?

If I have to post or get one single event, why not a single http?

Why do I have to use http, then upgrade to websocket, then send/receive one event and then close the connection?

My reason would be that if you are already keeping websocket connections alive you should probably use that method.

Consistency is probably a big factor too.
