You're talking about the product of standards committees there, not startups. Standards committees are sort of "We're doing this so no one company owns/controls this basic tech, so we can all build new and interoperable products with the basic tech and make money!"

The beauty of standards is that there are so many to chose from! So it's not very different from startups.
Eventually, somethings dominate whether it comes from a standard body or is "branded" as a standard ex-post.
