Even with NATS jetstream, NATS has a focus on service communication.
"It supports websockets" and "qos" does not mean it will work robustly with web apps if nobody uses NATS for that use case. See https://github.com/nats-io/nats.ws/issues/172 for an example issue. If NATS is not used for websockets in browsers, it will have a mine field of issues to fix. And what about all the other clients (mobile, mobile web)? Sure there may be a NATS client library for it, but it won't handle user connectivity issues, because again it's aimed at service communication where the network is great.
People are using NATS in kubernetes, not web browsers.
