HTTP/2 prioritization is a lot of hype for a theoretical feature that yields little real world performance. When a client is rendering a page, it knows what it needs in what order to minimize blocking. The server doesn't.

Yes, which is why the browser send priorities with the requests but many servers ignore these and just server responses in what ever order suits them.

If a low priority response is served before a high priority one the page is likely to be slower to render etc.
