Seeing early QUIC development not account for the DDoS potential of choosing UDP makes it pretty clear that networking is not top-of-mind.

Are you saying there's ddos potential because UDP itself doesn't have a connection handshake? There's still one on top of UDP. The initial packet could be forged, but so could one from TCP (a SYN flood).

SYN flood cookies are probably older than me at this point
