Large percentage of mobile device power consumption is from radio use. Personal tests of phones in airplane mode and without airplane mode show even network keepalive consumes a fair amount of energy.

Sure but if HTTP/3 adds significant processor overhead compared to prior versions and the user isn't getting a noticeable benefit from this cost, they're not going to like it and it sort of seems like a pointless waste of effort.
