not just proprietary form factors but also buses (MCA) with unreasonable licensing terms, which is why the x86 pc industry stuck with 16-bit ISA and then EISA right up until VLB and then PCI began to exist as a thing. The PS/2 was a terribly proprietary design. Just about the only thing it gave us was the PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface, and widespread use of 3.5" 1.44MB FDDs which would have happened even if IBM didn't exist.
