The main issue is we’re not there today and it’s not obvious what that world looks like.

We all had junk drawers of useless charging cables, everyone agreed it was stupid, hence a universal charging connector standard along with the promise that the charger junk drawers will be freed.

Even if we mandate the “POSIX of smart phones”, for lack of a better term, what problem today, for everyday users, does it solve? It might even make interactions with various government technology worse as that API will likely only be begrudgingly supported, which won’t win any hearts or minds.

Basically until you have a one line slogan that most people can relate to which, and is a problem they have today, movement will be very slow.

Also, in the short term, if these various site are AI coded, and thus follow existing software patterns, expect this to get worse.
