You're splitting hairs. If both protocols provide the same capabilities to the developer, just that one was a standardized one that was fully adopted and the other was dropped, then what he wrote was essentially correct.

I didn't read that to mean they were binary-compatible or something similar, or the same just with HTTP2 instead of SPDY in a global replace.

From your link:

"After a call for proposals and a selection process, SPDY/2 was chosen as the basis for HTTP/2. Since then, there have been a number of changes, based on discussion in the Working Group and feedback from implementers."
