I think you said it pretty well, but I'll re-iterate some of your second point.
The human element defies any solution other than social coordination such as a specs registry or org. At some point the software needs to understand each other and that requires people to work together. A technical solution around schemas can assist the coordination work, but it can't replace it.
EDIT to add: Since we can't remove human coordination, I question the value of arbitrary schema composition when it incurs the huge DX cost of using a URL to represent every attribute.
