That is not the exact explanation but close enough.

The HTTP protocol can handle several connections, but it requires using
a specific API. The ffmpeg command-line tool does not use that API, and
therefore can only handle one connection.

It would be possible to create a muxer similar to the tee muxer capable
of streaming to several clients at once. But nobody wrote it yet.
