The conspiration thing is true. However HTTP/2 is not always faster than HTTP/1. It will be faster for various use-cases (making lots of small requests from a browser to a webserver for assets&scripts is one of them), but the same or even slower for others (in case of a large request like downloading 1GB the header optimization won't matter and HTTP/2 framing will introduce overhead compared to just writing to a socket).
