Put me in the column of being an ardent standards supporter. I really don't like buying a[n] (HDMI|USB|Lightning) cable and then finding out it's not standards compliant, so my (PS5|PC|Phone) doesn't work. I'm old enough to remember Web-development with Internet Explorer, and so old, I remember cross platform C++ development using Visual C++.
