In the old days you needed to adhere to standards such as ISO to be able to bid on government contracts. If you weren't standardized then that was a barrier to bidding for a government tender. I was never really aware of how deeply such standardization impacts software development. When the market maker is the US government or Dept. of Defense then you will do what they require or be on the outside.
