Maybe, but QUIC is not bad as a protocol. The problem here is that OSes are not as well optimized for QUIC as they are for TCP. Just give it time, the paper even has suggestions. QUIC has some debatable properties, like mandatory encryption, or the use of UDP instead of being a protocol under IP like TCP, but there are good reasons for it, related to ossification. Yes, Google pushed for it, but I think it deserves its approval as a standard. It is not perfect but it is practical, they don't want another IPv6 situation.
