Same reason they would let QUIC pass: it will make applications work better - otherwise nobody will use it.  (Of course there's the obvious problem that it's not defined yet :-).  In any case, I agree that without noticeable improvement for users in some dimension(s), there's no point.

For some applications.  For others, it depends on whether the parts of QUIC "behind the veil" allow for evolution.
Also, whatever is exposed will become ossified, so it should be designed with evolution in mind (whatever that means).
