What do you mean by any involved network infrastructure? The URI is encrypted by TLS, you would only see the host address/domain unless you had access to it after decryption on the server.
The comment you were replying to is asking about a situation where there is TLS. Also using clear text values in the URI itself does not mean there wouldn’t be TLS.
Anyone who has access to any involved network infrastructure can trace the cleartext communication and extract the credentials.

They said clear text, I would assume it’s not https.

When someone just says cleartext, I assume they mean transmission too.
