DH by default is just one benefit of TLS1.3, there are many others or else
we wouldn't be shipping it with so many changes and improvements. Otherwise
there would be no TLS1.3, and only a deprecation of the non-PFS cipher
suites. But that plainly isn't the case.

The main one I'm concerned about is me having to support non-TLS1.3 clients
;-) 1RTT key exchange is worth it alone.
