Unrelated to this article, are there any reasons to use TCP/IP over WebSockets? The latter is such a clean, message-based interface that I don't see a reason to use TCP/IP.

Performance. TCP over TCP is pretty bad.

OpenVPN can do that (tcp-based vpn session over a tcp connection) and the documentation strongly advices against that.
