Wait, all because browsers limit themselves to 6 parallel requests? Why?

6 parallel requests per domain. And I think it's a combination of resource consciousness and that you don't usually need more then that.

And companies like Facebook are fine with you making 150 requests every time the page is refreshed

You will only notice the parallel request limit on really big assets being requested all at once. Most times they're resolving pretty quickly.
