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

http/2 surely not simpler?

I feel like securing against request smuggling is simpler with http/2. That is of course only one aspect.

Ultimately though, its not like this is getting rid of http/1.1 in general, just DNS over http/1.1. I imagine the real reason is simply nobody was using it. Anyone not on the cutting edge is using normal dns, everyone else is using http/2 (or 3?) for dns. It is an extremely weird middle ground to use dns over http 1. Im guessing the ven diagram was empty.

Having to support http/1.1 and http/2 is definitely not simpler.
