Yes.  That's not to say people shouldn't adapt HTTP/2 to other uses. 
Just that HTTP/2 needn't adapt to *all* uses.  And perhaps the onus
should be on those who don't want to do compression to indicate that
HTTP/2 to them is still useful.  If there are enough of them, this is an
easily solved problem: just use another identifier of HTTP/2 in ALPN
that indicates no compression. h2c is taken.
