TCP is for business (a.k.a. paying your invoice) and UDP is for fun (a.k.a. your voice chat).

Send over a cassette tape of you singing Let It Go from Disney's Frozen and I'll get back to you within four to five business months. If you fail verification, you won't be hearing from me.

No shade to Idina Menzel, but Panic! At The Disco did an awesome job with 'Into the Unknown' as well for ending credits for Frozen 2.

Disney Dad's represent.

Yeah, because ultimately UDP is just IP with ports and a checksum added on top, you can do anything with it you can do with plain IP, including reliable transport.
