The HTTP-centrism is the worst.

QUIC is hilarious because they ended up fitting everything and the kitchen sink for any need in the proto, just because 15 years ago firewalls blocked this or that and the reimplementation with websockets of the thing that was blocked runs only in a browser.

It's apples to oranges. QUIC is actually used _with_ HTTP/3.

Consider not mix transport level (QUIC) and application level (HTTP) protocols in the same comparison to oppose them.

First draft of HTTP/3 was called "HTTP/2 Semantics Using The QUIC Transport Protocol". I'm sorry, i should've laid that more shoddily and call that "GoogleHTTP".
