The first one requires money be spent on every site.

The second one requires that the feature be maintained in major web servers. Which it will be. On a per-site basis, the developer needs to do nothing.

Still not getting it. Every site is hosted. The hosting company needs to spend money on HTTP/2, and be allowed to use it. The networks need to allow TCP through. All the steps down to the transport layer now require legacy maintenance.

Lots of things need to happen for HTTP/2 to 'stay alive'.

Your use of the future tense does not convince me.

The hosting company needs to spend basically nothing, because it's built into the software.

It's built into the software because enough sites will still be using it fifty years from now, even if it's a minority of traffic.

I seriously doubt you'll ever see TCP blocked.
