It's called a "standards process" for a reason. Even if you personally have a different opinion the point of a standard is to get everyone implementing it on-board with that standard.
Releasing a standard that a major member opposes and won't implement is a pointless exercise.
When Apple adopts some technology, they don't care whether others can do the same, or what problems that will cause to others.
They might use the same medicine.
I'd say everyone else should take a hard stance on this and show Apple to the door, instead of dancing under their tune.
