HTTP/1.1 is inherentely more resistant to centralized political and social pressure than HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 as those have baked in (to 99.9999% of user agents and libs) requirements for CA TLS. It's also far more robust over long time periods.

I understand that for business and institutional use cases HTTP/1.1 is undesirable. But for human use cases, like long lasting and robust websites that don't just become unvisitable every ~3 years (with CA cert expirations, etc, etc) HTTP+HTTPS on HTTP/1.1 is irreplacable.

Browsers, lib devs, and web developers, should consider the needs of human persons and not just corporate persons. This is a misguided declaration at best and one who's context needs to be clearly defined.
