Ignoring that this article is shamelessly LLM-generated, I did not actually know Mullvad had QUIC obfuscation, so this is a cool fun fact.

No they don't. The amount of work it takes to have a HTTP/3 web server means those sectors probably don't even have it yet. Even if they did, I wouldn't expect HTTP/3 to be the only way to access anything, not even a decade from now. Even HTTP/2 was awful to get working when it was new, and I haven't heard of even a single server not accepting HTTP/1.1; you are still more likely to encounter servers not even supporting HTTP/2 yet, let alone HTTP/3.
