You could make an argument about the club good thesis but this article
doesn't do it.  The author argues that http/2 is bad because it can
serve ads faster, because it has Google's fingerprints all over
it, and that gives an unfair advantage to big companies, so the solution
is to have external reviewers approve stuff.  She seems unawware that
there are elements other than ads in web pages, or that there are widely
used open source versions of the entire HTTP stack.

I realize this sounds like a caracature but read it and see for yourself.
It's only seven pages.

R's,
John
