But this does matter to web developers! For example http/2 lets you request multiple files at once and server push support. If you don't know this you might not implement it and end up with subpar performance. http/3 is going to be built on UDP-based Quic and won't even support http://, will need a `Alt-Svc:` header, and removes the http/2 prioritisation stuff.
God knows how a UDP-based http is going to work but these are considerations a 'Software Engineer' who works on web systems should think about.

Someone writing the framework should absolutely be intimately familiar with it, and should work on making these new capabilities easy to use from a higher level where your typical web dev can make use of it without much thought, if any.
