so far, there is no reason to mandate http/3. There is barely any infrastructure cost to running a dual HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/3 setup.
And the two are so similar to application developers that there is no reason to mandate anyone move over.
However... It only takes one killer feature not compatible with HTTP/1.1 (eg. realtime VR with a stream per eye, and it turns out HTTP/1.1 can't do realtime bidirectional streams), and suddenly everyone will start turning off HTTP/1.1 services and replacing it with a page saying "please upgrade your web browser".
