It kind of is. What do you think WebTransport in HTTP/3 is? It's basically gRPC Next. The only reason gRPC didn't make it as the standard web communication layer is because of one disastrous decision by one Chrome engineer in https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40388906 https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40388906, maybe because he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
