And what if the MITM proxies disagree with you about which parts of
the standard deserve to work and block some of them ?

What will you do ?

Pop-up: "EXAMPLE.COM don't agree with Jason Greene about HTTP/2 scope" ?

Penalize them by deliberately slowing down their traffic ?

It's a much better idea to make the core protocol so simple that all
bits of it are naturally exercised.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
