SCTP can run over UDP. It's part of the spec.

Now we have HTTP3 which runs over UDP - where there is a will, there is a way.

Perhaps SCTP was ahead of its time.

SCTP over UDP came out in 2013:

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6951

SCTP came out in 2000:

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2960

Over a decade is quite a while in Internet-time.
