HTTP3/QUIC Not enabled when using Python Selenium Wire

When using Selenium Wire with Chrome, the browser is falling back to HTTP/2 on HTTP/3 enabled websites.

Why is this the case?

I am doing lots of various tests which is why I am specifying a random profile each time to avoid any pollution/cross contamination.

This problem does not occur with standard Selenium. (uncommenting 'webdriver' import and replacing 'wire_webdriver' with 'webdriver')

import os
import uuid
from seleniumwire import webdriver as wire_webdriver
# from selenium import webdriver

chrome_data_dir = f'chrome_data_dir/{str(uuid.uuid4())}'
os.makedirs(chrome_data_dir)
options = wire_webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(f'--user-data-dir={chrome_data_dir}')
driver = wire_webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get('https://cloudflare-quic.com/')
os.system('rm -rf chrome_data_dir/*')

I am using multiple sites to confirm Quic is not enabled:

When using my normal Chrome profile I use for everyday browsing all three come back saying Quic is enabled.

As a side note, when using standard selenium (where HTTP3/QUIC works), I can disabled quic by adding: options.add_argument('disable-quic')

I can't find 'disable-quic' option documented anywhere, and when I navigate to 'chrome://flags' in the running selenium instance as configured above. 'enable-quic' option is set to defualt.
