Attackers are not assumed to have control over L3 routing. Instead, they can observe packets on one network segment and make (modified) copies on another segment and win the race to the destination due to, e.g., better SLA.

Ah ok. Reading that bit from QUIC makes it seem the attacker is more powerful than it needs to be though. In my understanding, it is actually a very specific L4 routing manipulation that is assumed, rather than full-blown control over L3 paths.

Obviously, if the attacker is a router that can inject "better routes" through itself, it can be classified as an off-path attacker in our (i.e., QUIC) terminology. But, it's not necessary to be that powerful.
