HTTP/2 associates each push with the (single) request where the server promised it.  HTTP/3 allows a push to be associated with multiple requests.

> There is only going to be a single push stream with the specified push id, of course. **And as such, only a single request can be directly associated with that push stream.**

This is the difference -- one need not follow from the other.  HTTP/3 allows a response to be promised on multiple streams, implying that you'll potentially want it as a dependency for each of those things.  That means it's intended to be possible for that push to satisfy several client requests (from different tabs, or threads, or iframes, or whatever).

Now, if the response is cacheable, you're right -- the HTTP cache will probably satisfy those other requests and it doesn't have to reach the push cache.  But the pushed response need not be cacheable; it can nonetheless be used multiple times if promised multiple times.

In WinInet, we had a concept of a navigation that was passed down from the browser, and the push cache was at the navigation level rather than the connection level.  It was part of whichever navigation included the stream that received the promise.  Hypothetically, if something were promised on several streams from different navigations, HTTP/3 would enable putting that response in both navigations' push caches.

Since Chrome can split navigations across connections, doesn't having the push cache at the connection level means you might miss that something was already pushed because it was promised on a different connection than Chrome was going to use for the request?
