Haven't you heard of the stories ego or hubris that make projects split and die? Maybe you're one of those people who think Linux was already fine 10 years ago and users should try a little bit to use it instead of setting for Windows without thinking?
Diversity is a strength. But hubris is a weakness. Inventing a new standard every 6 months is stupid.
C is 50 years old. Http is 30 years old, as is python. We forgot about fortrans, and it is a good thing. But you don't build lasting things on technologies that are revolutionised every 6 months.
