I haven't heard of a distro with a client that supports only UDP.  Or
even that defaults to UDP.

I kind of doubt there's anything at all out there that only supports
UDP--if there is, my bet would be odd one-off userspace clients or old
embedded devices?

So if you're seeing UDP it's probably because they explicitly asked for
it on the mount commandline.
