> VNC is to RDP what telnet is to HTTP/3. The underlying concepts are the same, but the implementations have very different feature sets and advancements.

I don't know a lot about http3. This comparison does not make a lot of sense to me with regards to http2. What changes have been made in http3 to make it conceptually close to telnet?

You set up a connection between two servers and exchange text. HTTP/3 does a boatload more than telnet, but in its core it's just sending text back and forth with some optional special tricks.

VNC and RDP both solve "log in to a remote computer", but RDP does a lot more than just sending images one way and sending HID input the other way.
