That reply is wrong on so many levels. First of all, everyone wants the benefits of HTTP/2.0, obviously. Else I'd be using gopher, thank you very much. Then, startssl is a company, that happens to give free certs. For one single sub-domain. Got two subdomains? Gotta pay. They can also decide to make those non-free at any given moment, if they feel like it. The only part I agree with, is paying for EV certificates. But you should NOT need to pay and you should NOT need a third party to be responsible for YOUR certificates if you do not want to. And again, there's quite a few distributed trust models around that work well and do exactly that, but get great push back from vendors, since, by nature, they don't bring as much money back.
