Building a new protocol on top of UDP when it's well-known that many
ISPs rate-limit UDP (due to "there is no large amounts of UDP in the
wide area Internet, except for reflective DDoS crap") is not exactly
a very smart move.

Nothing about QUIC is really a smart move, beyond "we're google, we can
do what we want" - and IETF being what it is, if you have strong enough
vendor backing, you can get anything standardized.
