Advantages:

better integration with FastAPI https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/websockets/
Authentication would be easier without workarounds
no limitation on connection when not on HTTP/2 (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource)
Also possible to send messages directly (e.g. when forcing an update, getting other messages)
