Who says it was the standard? Wayland it not even finished YET so really who can say it? Wanting standards defined after some competition exist and we know the best approach could be positive, but not before based on dogma on what should be better on paper but on reality. A reason to be suspicious? Personally I am suspicious of standards by committee in which anybody at a table have to be happy with unrealistic expectations. This is "software as politics". Most people don't even know what the best approach is until a least they code sever tests on the real world and work some time on the problem. Software has also some part of exploration on it. To have small focused teams exploring those ideas makes total sense. For example the original software for the Iphone was done with a small team of 10-20 people. And it took them some iterations(years of work) to really know what people wanted or needed. To same something is the standard because we say so is highly presumptuous.
