My main annoyance for gemini not having http is that i do not want to run a VPS. My (web) site is running on shared hosting where keeping (or not) software up to date, keeping up with the latest and greatest way Gmail breaks email and any other admin-level stuff i handled by someone else (and also it is cheaper) - i just upload a bunch of static HTML files and anything else i need to share and leave it at that. If Gemini used http 1.0 (like others mentioned) it'd work out of the box - not just for me, but for everybody else. But the custom protocol pretty much requires a VPS and that opens a can of worms i'm not interested in opening again. FWIW i used to have my own "gopherhole" but since that one also needs a custom server, i dropped it after i switched from VPS to shared hosting. I still have the client i wrote though[0] and considered making a Gemini one at some point but the fact that i can't make my own site does hamper things a bit (and TBH i haven't updated the Gopher client for years either).
