What is the benefit QUIC? Im new to encryption protocols like openvpn and wireguard but stuff keeps on coming lately in wireguard.

The announcement explains the benefit, near the bottom of the page:

What we call QUIC obfuscation builds on the MASQUE protocol described by RFC 9298 - Proxying UDP in HTTP. As the title of the RFC implies, QUIC obfuscation works by tunneling UDP through an HTTP server acting as a proxy. For a censor looking at the traffic being sent between a client and server, the traffic will appear as web traffic. HTTP is generally not blocked by state-level censors, since much of the internet would be unreachable without it.
