HTTP/2 is not HTTPS-only.
https://http2.github.io/faq/#does-http2-require-encryption
Though, wikipedia states that: "although most client implementations require it, which makes encryption a de facto requirement."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2
So you are kind of right.
Anyway, this site compares HTTP/2 and HTTP/1 so it is not fair HTTP vs HTTPS comparison.
Yeah, I guess it's fair to call this "manipulation".
I wish it was more obvious from that webpage, since yeah, HTTPS is definitely slower by itself, but it is what a current real-time measurement will likely give you.
