PQE is probably a good catalyst for change here. It could easily have become a ‘forever protocol’ like IPv4, but there’s a point where maintaining two competing standards becomes onerous, especially when the newer one has wider support, fewer ‘bad’ configuration options to get wrong (can’t say the same for IPv6 unfortunately).

Quantum resistance has also become a requirement in many regulatory environments, so this is a good opportunity to force that transition towards TLSv1.3. They have been nudging for some time, but 1.2 is still somehow the default in a lot of products.
