I have the same gripe about QUIC, but nobody seems to care. QUIC moves part of the network stack into the application layer.

It is bad on a server, but good on a mobile device. I hate QUIC too, but I'm Server guy.
That's a good thing.
Please elaborate. Why is it "good" to have a separate network stack element in each application, and what does this mean for legacy applications that will never support QUIC?
Because different applications have different needs and there is nothing intrinsically safer or better about having the stack be kernel-resident and, in fact, a lot to recommend moving things out of the kernel and into userland, which has a better application cotenancy model (full cr3 context switches between different users).
