If you read the early Plan 9 documentation, you'll discover that
originally what is affectionately know as Ken's server was dedicated
to file serving and Internet routing. Today, that may no longer be the
best approach, for various reasons, but it seems right to understand
how Plan 9 evolved as there may be important lessons in its history.

For example, I frequently encounter situations where a mildly enhanced
"proto" feature would be a very fitting approach to address them.
