Because it's a benchmark of HTTP3 and not a comparison of "as it might be stacks".

It would a bit like bench-marking HTTP/1 with RHEL7 and Apache2, HTTP/2 with RHEL8 and NGINX and HTTP/3 with...let's say Alpine and Caddy...it's just not a clean benchmark if you mix more then one component and try to proof that this single one component is faster.

Good point. So TLS 1.3 everywhere would have been better

Especially when their benchmark scenario is something that plays to the strengths of tls1.3 and would probably only mildly be improved (if at all) by http/3

Well yes if it's a benchmark ;)
