Yes.  Like HTTP/2, the design goal for TLS 1.3 was to make pushing out web
content to clients as easy and efficient as possible, even if it meant
sacrificing security or functionality for things other than pushing out web
content efficiently in the process.  Look at the hacks around ~0RTT and
session tickets, for example.
