I do not see the "incompatibility". There is a web-to-gemini gateway at https://portal.mozz.us https://portal.mozz.us which I think is an example to how easy it is to write one.
Big Browser is the cause of so many problems that people on HN complain about. Without the control over Big Browser that certain offending corporations have, their empires are considerably weaker.
Mom-and-Pop Browser is probably not an accurate caricature. Maybe something like End User Browser is more apropos.
If most HTTP is being sent over TLS these days, and Gemini is also over TLS, one could argue there is no "incompatibility". Gemini just doesn't need to all the extra ad-hoc functionality that has been built on top of HTTP. It is intended for data retrieval, not something that relies on help from the 20+ million lines of code in Big Browser to achieve.
