Application developers don't want to have to sort out getting a working SCTP implementation installed and configured on the proprietary operating systems they target, and past the firewalls of all the bottom of the barrel consumer routers.

You wouldn't use SCTP on top of IP, you would use on top of UDP and implemented in userspace. Browsers do it this way (in WebRTC data channels).
