Section 7.2.6 says:

The GOAWAY frame applies to the entire connection,
not a specific stream. A client MUST treat a
GOAWAY frame on a stream other than the control
stream as a connection error of type
H3_FRAME_UNEXPECTED.

It should say:

The GOAWAY frame applies to the entire connection,
not a specific stream. An endpoint MUST treat a
GOAWAY frame on a stream other than the control
stream as a connection error of type
H3_FRAME_UNEXPECTED.

Notes:

HTTP/3 originally only supported GOAWAY from server to client. In this PR we added the ability to also send GOAWAY from client to server https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/pull/3129/files. Unfortunately we didn't update the highlighted text to cover the situation where a server receives a GOAWAY on a different stream.

FWIW the implementation I am responsible for already applies the rule to request streams.
