Browser vendors usually do not have this choice. Either they proposed the change themselves, forcing other vendors to follow, or a prisoners-dilema occurs where either all vendors act, or non at all. These are well studied problems in oligopolies and are the prime reason we need a certain amount of governance of (independent) standards bodies.
