I thought the primary appeal of HTTP/3 is for mobile clients, and bad connections in general, because it circumvents TCP head of line blocking and connections can persist across networks.

That doesn't feel terribly relevant in corporate networks.

(not disputing that it's not comparable to the v6 transition)

His claim of corporate appeal is completely unsubstantiated and I think when he says corporate he isn't referring to enterprise.

Enterprises largely won't give two shits about HTTP/3.

Just last week I took ownership of another department's decade old app written in VB.NET WinForms. The former dev team was putting the finishing touches on the C# WebForms refactor. It's been interesting taking a step back in time to Dev practices from 2008.

The appeal of H3 is smaller memory footprint.
