Section 1.1 says:

The maximum user message size is 2^14 bytes, which is the DTLS
      limit.

It should say:

The maximum user message size is limited by the DTLS implementation.

Notes:

TLS and DTLS handshake messages can be quite large (in theory up to 2^24-1 bytes, in practice many kilobytes).
See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-dtls13/?include_text=1
section 3.3 as reference
--VERIFIER NOTES--
The citation in the note clearly refers to handshake messages, not application data records. RFC 4347 and draft-ietf-tls-dtls13 clearly state that the limit is 2^14.
