I think you’re severely underestimating the complexity of http/1.1. It’s definitely much simpler than http/2, but it’s a lot of code that needs to be maintained.

    To write the code from scratch, sure.

    But I'm thinking a few lines of nginx config to proxy http 1.1 to 2

probably not - it can be quite poorly defined in places and the edge cases can be very fiddly. by pushing for http/2 it encourages more users to pick it up imo
