There are limits to that as well - defacto standardization can have boons as well due to the "ergonomics" of many competing standards. It brings to mind the old 90s "tons of sound card options to select installing".
Open standards technically can avoid some of it but the equilibrium tends to involve "defecting" to decommoditize and compete leading to a breakdown anyway.
