But I am not saying that HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 are magic that fix packet loss in mobile networks.

I'm saying that from the point of view of either endpoint, there is very little packet loss in mobile networks, because of error correction and retransmissions being handled at the physical layer. This is the third time I've written it. Both previous times you've not answered that, and instead made up a strawman about HTTP/2 and magic. Why do you keep doing that?

Do you not believe that cellular radio protocols do error correction? Or that they do retransmissions at that level, rather than just try transmitting each packet once and then give up?
