Having a standard doesn't mean you're not allowed to innovate and create another one.
SCTP dates from RFC2960, first draft was published in 1999. It had enough time to get traction, and it didn't. Why would anyone build something new with it now, knowing that it doesn't answer some of the issues with the current Internet?
Even WebRTC's DataChannels were introduced at the IETF in 2012, that's 9 years ago (although ironically, the RFC just got published in January...).
