Do you need a use case for UDP w/o QUIC? Seriously??? There must be
tons of it...

Take a look at UDP tunnels, for instance, wireguard which is our use
case. ByteDance has wireguard-based VPN solution for bussiness. (I hate
to brand ourselves, but you are asking for it...)

Please do research on your side, as a netdev maintainer, you are
supposed to know this much better than me.

Thanks.
