A similar problem happened with logging in Java. For many years, there were several competing libraries for logging. Eventually, the community converged on basically none of them, and it became a convention that libraries should use an implementation-agnostic logging API (slf4j), allowing applications to use their preferred implementation (which has a "bridge" to slf4j, e.g. log4j, logback etc.).

Eventually, the JDK did add a logging facility [1]... but too little, too late: nobody uses that and any library that uses logging will probably forever use slf4j.
