SCTP runs over UDP too. The main reason for not picking it is likely the TLS handshake optimizations they wanted.
If SCTP really ran on UDP. I'd have no reason to be salty, because we'd already be using it.

Direct OS support is a big deal, and UDP gets messed with too. If someone made SCTP-over-UDP the default mode, while changing nothing else, I don't think it would affect adoption at all.
