As I read this post, QUIC has been introduced at least partly to solve the problem of head-of-line blocking. Head-of-line blocking in turn has become a problem since the adoption of HTTP/2, formerly known as SPDY, which is the protocol Google previously foisted upon the world. So the core protocols involved in the web are now the playthings of Google, and when Google screws up the answer is yet another new and shiny protocol with unknown sideeffects. I know this misconstrues Google's role in all of this somewhat, but it's an interpretation that crossed my mind.
