I think you are right but this is a tool explicitly designed for convenience and not for scalability. The target is more like, I need a websocket on my VPS to connect to my own app that is used only by me. Or to hack together a quick demo, which is basically the same thing.

Exactly. As a concrete example, I used websocketd a few years ago when I was debugging some geometry-heavy code and wanted to use D3 as a quick way to make a visual debugging UI. I was just running a single process locally; scale was not a concern. https://twitter.com/paulgb/status/914495701119365121
