That's why I said to some extent. Most people do not use echo and echo reply at all.
Most people don't, correct. However, some caching services like Speedera do use both the Echo Request and expect an Echo Reply packet. Speedera is a service just like Akamai, except they use latency (to some degree) to figure out which server users need to use.
I could probably find some other systems that would be greatly impaired that are completely non-interactive that use Echo Request and Echo Reply packets.
