Web3 is irrelevant. Actual Web 3.0 isn't anything blockchain based. Web 3.0 is the total corporate take-over of the entire web by Google/MS/Apple requiring CA based TLS in the HTTP/3 (QUIC) implementations in their browsers.

i just want to be able to use udp without the headache of webrtc

Webrtc websockets implementations (and spec!) are corrupted too. They require TLS even for localhost. But at least you can still use self-signed certs so it's not as bad as HTTP/3.

It's kind of crazy to think that smartphones' inability to hold open a TCP connection (and thus the desire for UDP) are managing to ruin the entire (non-commercial) web.

my desire for udp is for out-of-order delivery for low latency game networking, nothing to do with smartphones

"Actual Web 3.0 isn't anything blockchain based."

Obviously.

There are also DAGs (IPFS), hashgraphs (Hedera, IOTA), blockweaves (Arweave), and probabl many more alternatives to blockchains to power DApps.
