Like I said in another comment - I'd wager the majority of HTTP use cases have nothing to do with a browser or HTML/CSS/JS.
HTTP2 might be nicer when you're serving static content to a browser; debatable, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt.
In all the other vast domains of HTTP usage HTTP2 does nothing good.
My concerns have nothing to do with HTML/CSS/JS, but rather the suitability of HTTP as a transport for arbitrary client server protocols --- the subject of this thread. For general transports, multiplexing alone is an obvious win over HTTP.
