I would compare it more to RSS vs. more complicated protocols like WebSub. HTTP/1.0, like RSS, isn't going away; and when you're a smaller player, it's really all you need. It's only the larger players that actually have requirements that make optimizations like HTTP/2 necessary for their operating expenses to stay sane, rather than just "nice-to-have but an unnoticeable blip on their margins."
