It's wasted energy when they aren't used at their full capacity.

I think that GoogleHTTP has real-world uses for bad connectivity or in datacenters where they can fine-tune their data throughput (and buy crazy good NICs), but it seems that to use it for replacing TCP (which seems to be confirmed as very good when receiver and sender aren't controlled by the same party) the world needs a hardware overhaul or something.

Maybe, the problem is that we are designed around a limited bandwidth network at the initial inception of the internet and have been building around that design for 50 years. We need to change the paradigm to think about our wide bandwidth networks.
