I disagree.

MPTCP flows are no different than a single TCP connection; both assume a
single set of "path" properties, and both could be affected by use of
multipath.

However, both may need to use multipath to have the resources needed,
e.g., to complete a transfer quickly.

AFAICT, both should be treated the same for the purposes of BANANA, and
neither one should have a blanket exemption.
