Datacenters don't typically have high latency, low bandwidth, and varying availability issues. If you have a saturated http/1.1 network (or high CPU use) within a DC you can usually just add capacity.
Well, when you assume you make an ass out of u and me! (I get that this probably isn't a high-priority area to study.)

Then I'd be curious how much a lack of HTTP/2 support in the application layer costs. It might be small change for an early stage startup, but when companies get large, these corner cases end up paying peoples' salaries.

That's a very bold claim.
I'd like to see some data that shows little difference with and without HTTP/2 in the datacenter before I believe that claim.
