Also considering the failure in the adoption of the SCTP protocol by middleboxes dropping traffic with a new (unknown to them) transport.  Multipath TCP learned from this, and in the Multipath TCP architecture, the design team retrofitted the multiple streams into independent TCP streams, just like regular TCP.

See also the overview paper by Christoph Paasch and Olivier Bonaventure, Multipath TCP: Decoupled from IP, TCP is at last able to support multihomed hosts, ACM Queue, vol. 12, no. 2, March 2014. (https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2591369)
