I think it's the same reason you would want to use good old HTTP over raw sockets for a request/response API, even though with a native client you could just invent your own protocol.
If you want bidirectional communication to your app, it's much easier to make a server that uses the WebSocket Protocol (tornado, etc.) instead of rolling your own server and protocol.
