HTTPS records are (reportedly) coming soon™: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https...

Note that there are both HTTPS and SVCB record types.

Regardless of the standard being finalized there's already some support in the wild. To name a few prominent ones iOS, macOS, Cloudflare, Akamai, and NS1 all support both types.

Yes, but the topic was web browsers, which would use the HTTPS record, not the SVCB one.
