Link-aggregation(LAG) is typically only done with links of the same speeds. MPTCP instead seems to be focused specifically on links of differing speeds. LAGs are definied by such standards as IEEE 802.1ag and are typically done at layer 1.5. They are a link level protocol. MPTCP is a layer 4 protocol and so does not require the directly connected device to be aware of it.
