It's all HTTP/1.1 at the application layer, still. The HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are mostly a binary encoding scheme (to use on top of good old TLS on top of TCP) and a different transport protocol (on top of UDP instead of TCP), respectively, but their goal is to carry good old HTTP/1.1 messages around.

Not exactly. HTTP now has multiple substrates some with different features and documents describe the mapping of HTTP onto each substrate.
