That's what I thought too. A while ago, I wanted to use it in an Android app. I thought this was going to be a no-brainer. After all, Google more or less invented QUIC as SPDY about a decade ago. To my understanding, since they just YOLO'd it they agreed to form a proper working group and create quic. So here we are, ten years later, Google is heavily using quic for all their web stuff, and I naively assumed that Android would've had a native quic implementation for a while now, either directly in the SDK/runtime, or some first party library from Google. Nada. There is cronet, the networking engine of chrome as a library, which does speak quic but only exposes classes and functions to speak http, so you cannot even use its quic implementation directly. I went on and had to use some C library and JNI to do it, which is just ridiculous.

Sorry for this tangentially related vent, I'm still in disbelief.
