Just to chime in a bit on the why. HTTPs is one of the options we can
easily plug in with LWIP & mbedTLS. But apart from that, getting a
richer TCP/IP stack that has been used for years in RTOSes is a win on
its own.

We can now easily add multiple net-based applications without having
to implement the underlying TCP/IP stack.  LWIP is a very slight
increase in size (~1%) and the advantages are well worth it.
