>Why we have stopped making cool protocols like this? It seems Internet had really cool protocols back in the day and we had so many possibilities. Now it seems we are stuck with HTTP.

Because of corporate network firewalls. Make no mistake, they would gladly break HTTP if they could, but it became too important, so now everything has to piggyback on top of HTTP.

Enforce the end-to-end principle and new protocols will flourish.
