I dont know, arguing that http/2 is safer overall is a... bold claim. It is sufficiently complex that there is no standard implementation in the Python standard library, and even third party library support is all over the place. requests doesn't support it; httpx has experimental, partial, pre-1.0 support. Python http/2 servers are virtually unavailable at all. And it's not just Python - I remember battling memory leaks, catastrophic deadlocks, and more in the grpc-go implementation of http/2, in its early days.

HTTP 1.1 connection reuse is indeed more subtle than it first appears. But http/2 is so hard to get right.
