Just reframe the question. Rather than assuming that what we need is a standardized VM, instead assume that what we need is a standardized IR (Intermediate Representation). It solves the same problem, makes LLVM-IR a viable alternative, and leaves the world free to make multiple, interoperable implementations rather than one monolithic implementation.
