I agree. Although, I am sympathetic to the desire to establish conventions and sanity, but to me these things seem to apply to HTTP/1.1 just as much as HTTP/2. I am also sympathetic to clients that prefer to just work even in the face of poor security. So why not just display a warning when *anything* using TLS happens to pick a weak cipher. That will be just as motivating and far less error prone.
