SSE also works well on HTTP/3 whereas web sockets still don’t.

I don't see much point in WebSockets for HTTP/3. WebTransport will cover everything you would need it for an more.

That might very well be but the future is not today.

But why add it to HTTP/3 at all? HTTP/1.1 hijacking is a pretty simple process. I suspect HTTP/3 would be significantly more complicated. I'm not sure that effort is worth it when WebTransport will make it obselete.

It was added to HTTP/2 as well and there is an RFC. (Though a lot of servers don’t support it even on HTTP/2)
My point is mostly that SSE works well and is supported and that has A meaningful benefit today.
