It's worth noting that features like the one that enabled Rapid Reset are pushed into standards by the exact same companies, because they are needed for performance at their scale.

So in a way this was partially caused by the existence of insanely big tech companies that need such features.

Either I misunderstood the issue, but it sounds like rapid reset was not the cause.

Rapid Reset is the name given to the technique behind the attack. The cause is a flaw in HTTP/2 stream multiplexing that enables this technique.
