I agree with the industry picking something part.
The part I'm not keen on is nobody asks for a discussion on things anymore, they just check stuff in and it becomes a defacto standard.
Which can be okay... but I'm not a fan of foie gras for a reason

Ok, but what do you find are better options then? If you have examples then we can discuss why they haven't taken off as popular standards.

Google doesn't own Nginx, so I find it hard to believe that there were no discussions and they just went ahead and "checked stuff in".
The difference is between open (which gRPC is) and proprietary. The origination doesn't really matter. Lots of great open tech has come from Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Github, etc. Almost all the big projects started at a big company that needed to get something done and had the resources to create something new.
I'd rather the industry pick something and actually standardize instead of reinventing the same thing repeatedly just for some philosophical reasons.
