Both TCP and SCTP are in-order, which is what you frequently want but not always. We don't have a good, reliable messaging protocol that allows out of order messages, which can lead to increased latency that isn't necessary for some use cases.
This can cause much larger latencies for messages that have arrived but aren't delivered to the application because a previous packet was dropped and is awaiting retransmission
