Since multipath support has proved to be a key part of optimizing performance for services like Siri and Apple Music, we wouldn’t plan to move Siri or Apple Music off of MPTCP onto QUIC until QUIC has support for “full” multipath. (This of course doesn’t affect adopting QUIC for applications that don’t use MPTCP to start with.)
