Ethernet as a networking standard generates huge benefits in interoperability between devices if there is a common standard. These benefits don't exist for an ISA. There are some benefits clearly but holding up Ethernet as the example is convenient but flawed. Clearly having an open ISA is great news and one that we should support and hope it succeeds. Advocating for that single ISA to crowd out all other ISAs and render them unviable isn't in my view for a number of reasons.
