  My guess is if the server side connection stays half open it would mean the server is still sending data to your device after its closed the connection causing that data to essentially get sinkhole’d.

  Maybe in some extreme examples if you have a huge amount of connections that get abruptly closed your bandwidth could be limited until the connections expire. In normal circumstances that probably just means a small amount of additional background resources are getting wasted.
