https and HTTP/2 are not the same thing, though. Until HTTP/2 traffic is the vast majority when compared to HTTP/1.1 with TLS, you can't claim https and HTTP/2 are the same.

For example, if you terminate your secure traffic on an AWS ELB (or using S3, or CloudFront), you are serving HTTP/1.1 with TLS. And will be for the foreseeable future.

Can you point me to the RFC where https was redefined to not be HTTP/1.1 over TLS?
https was never defined in an RFC in the first place, as I understand it, it's just defacto used for that since Netscape started.
