I noticed it says enabling QUIC on your network provides improvements to encryption compared to TCP/TLS, why is that?

I assume it's referring to this:

> QUIC also combines the typical 3-way TCP handshake with TLS 1.3's handshake. Combining these steps means that encryption and authentication are provided by default, and also enables faster connection establishment. In other words, even when a new QUIC connection is required for the initial request in an HTTP session, the latency incurred before data starts flowing is lower than that of TCP with TLS.
