The extra CPU load for our balancers (nginx) didn't translate into any benefits for the user in performance or user experience. We ended up spending CPU cycles for no benefit.

Basically, HTTP/2 is tuned for a very specific case of Google traffic which pretty much never happens in places that aren't Google.
