We have four standards-track transport protocols (UDP, TCP, DCCP and

We have two standards-track protocols which have a reasonable chance
of being able to go through whatever stuff links your network to the
outside world.

Designers of applications and higher-layer protocols still have a
tendency to ignore SCTP and DCCP

Because experience shows them that, unfortunately, they do not cross
most firewalls and NAT devices?

This is, sadly, yet another case of Internet ossification.
