That's not strictly true.  If I sit (as I do) with a tab open to gmail
for a very long time, then it is of some advantage to me (and my
network usage) to use something like push rather than websockets (or
even server sent events).  Besides, server sent events might be
roughly equivalent, but they are horribly kludgy and suffer from
robustness issues.
