Some ancient protocols get replaced gradually though. Look at http3 not using TCP anymore. I mean at least it's something.

HTTP3 uses UDP, which is 6 years younger than TCP.

Nope, it uses a protocol on top of UDP called QUIC. If you count underlying protocols further down the stack, obviously all of them are really old.
