Big web companies killed open protocols (remember reading news via RSS?) in favor of exploiting and evolving web technologies as a way to push effectively proprietary UIs with spyware builtin. The whole web was based on the premise server (media provider) and client (media consumer) could be created by different parties and should therefore assume nothing and rely on protocols - that’s not what happens today since with JavaScript the same party effectively “takes over control” of the user agent. My radical opinion is that open protocol based web was killed the moment JavaScript adoption became standard, the same way an open web wouldn’t be possible with Macromedia Flash becoming a standard.
