More and more apps (mostly server apps) have a dedicated option to enable MPTCP. Some server apps have even decided to enable MPTCP support by default, which makes sense: if MPTCP is not requested, TCP is used like before. Note that server apps written in Go usually have MPTCP enabled by default (if supported by the OS/kernel). See: https://www.mptcp.dev/apps.html

mptcp.io monitors servers supporting MPTCP.

It is: by default, NetworkManager will configure MPTCP endpoints, so app can use multiple interfaces (if any). See: https://www.mptcp.dev/pm.html

Sadly, it is difficult to talk to people in charge there. A few years ago, they were interested in MPTCP, but it was not available in the official Linux kernel. Now it is, and easily accessible (especially for small actors)... but Google has enough resources to find and use alternatives they fully control.
