I'm just trying to figure out what the parent was trying to communicate, since the comment by itself didn't add much to the discussion.

It seems that they're more upset by the state of web development today than they are by HTTP2 or anything else that this thread pertains to.

The comment lists three negative things as "the reason we needed HTTP/2". I don't even see how you could read it other than implying that HTTP/2 was not actually necessary.

It does strongly imply it. HTTP2 is needed for more than just the bloatware of the modern internet.
