I mean, platform interoperability has also enabled a great deal of 21st century advancements. The internet, telecommunications, commercial aviation, standardized power and serial data delivery et. al have all pushed their prior iterations past proprietary concepts into neatly operating standards. It's a sentiment as old as time; order and chaos exist within one another. A constantly changing ecosystem will reward anyone that introduces standards, and a fully-standardized system needs change to progress. Both sentiments serve their purpose, but many modern amenities are better off partially regulated than left entirely unchecked. Good examples include medicine and copyright.
