shouldn't QUIC be supported at the operating system level similar to TCP? that way it could get adopted much easily in different languages

Not really. The whole point of quic is that it is built on top of plain old stupid udp, so it does _not_ require any OS level cooperation. The raison d etre of quic was to get rid of interacting with OS developers, convincing them, and patching some old ecomstations, and just "do what we want" in the process level.
