I couldn't find any evidence Google pushed QUIC with the aspiration of utilizing IP multicast.
In 2022 an RFC for adding multicast support to QUIC was published, but backed by Akamai, not Google. And of course the RFC has the caveat that it would only be useful over multicast networks, e.g. edge servers colocated at an ISP. It seems this effort has picked up some steam over 2025 and 2026.
But I didn't look too hard. Can you share sources?
