Well, they care about standards when the consequences of _not_ caring about standards become painful in the ecosystem as a whole.
But if that gets fixed, they go back to not caring... until/unless the pain rises.
But in general I agree with you.

Yep, you not just have to provide a _reason_, you have to provide tools that fit into workflow as efficiently as conveniently as that. (Ideally, that's a (in this case) compiler that's standard compliant!)
