(4) When it is pointed out that instead of complaining about TCP in cases where it is the wrong protocol it may be more useful to use the transport designed for the purpose, researchers who presumably are expert on matters in the transport layer respond in complete surprise.

There is of course the issue of migrating from one transport to another with NATs and firewalls thrown in for good measure, which is worse than migrating to IPv6 in some ways and only significantly better in one (no need to upgrade routers).
