In a way, PTCP is much less ambitious, as well: it is just TCP over UDP in 
order to get connection-initiations through firewalls.

My understanding of QUIC is that it has very different goals: it's not the 
thing you'd use for peer-to-peer connectivity (that would be something like 
RTMP) but rather it's over UDP so it can have slightly different guarantees and 
performance characteristics than TCP itself.
