The fact that many corps block UDP doesn't have anything to do with the necessity of QUIC. QUIC is on top of UDP because we tried with SCTP, but is never coming.
For people who have reasonably configured UDP, it offers a benefit; the fact that some people have broken UDP is neither here nor there. HTTP/2 continues to be an option for TCP-only networks.
