#QUIC (and #HTTP3) exists to serve the interests and needs of #Google.

In particular 0-RTT is basically a low-level cookie that allows deterministic user tracking below and before #http: if it will ever spread, disabling or deleting cookies, even out-lawing them, won't be a issue for #SurveillanceCapitalism.

So these days what happens at #IETF is much more lobbying than engineering. Overpaid engineers lobby against the users to further cement the power of their corporations.

I wouldn't call these as "improvements".

These days, sadly, IETF is the place where the fundamental fabric of the internet is constantly being ^^enshittified**.
