Why re-invent the wheel?

Because TCP provides one thing that in a lot of cases you don't
actually need, and that can hold up the entire data stream.

It guarantees in-order delivery.  If you want guaranteed delivery,
but don't care if it comes in the same order that it got sent, then
TCP isn't such a great choice after all.
