Why would you have anything other than web servers directly accessible on the internet?

The internet is more than just web servers. Web servers are more than just www.

I work for a chat service, the servers doing the actual work of the service were rarely attacked, we even have a couple other http(s) endpoints that are public, but not www, and those were rarely attacked as well.
