The distinction here is between requests that a client creates for itself and requests that it is forwarding. The interpretation from Stefan is right: if you forward a request that only has Host and not :authority (perhaps because it came in HTTP/1.1) then you include "host" and not ":authority" in HTTP/2. Consider also that not every HTTP/2 client conforms to RFC 9113; there are a number that conform to the language in RFC 7540. (If your next point is that this could be clearer in the spec, I'm not going to disagree with you.)
