Great, I appreciate you recognize this.

But it _is_ necessary. In every single of the examples I gave in my reply to dlubarov, it is necessary:

- There are 100+ small images, icons, etc and all are displayed on the nytimes.com homepage.

- All of the thumbnail pictures of ebay items on a listing are displayed to the user.

- The 50+ maps tiles downloaded when browsing Google Maps are all necessary.

- Etc

You seem to fail to realize that in 2015, not every web page can be dumbed down to a blob of static HTML and no more than 2-3 images. The modern web is complex. We needed a protocol that can serve it efficiently.

It's not just web _pages_, either. Many people spend their days working in web applications, which HTTP/2 helps tremendously.
