My point was slightly different. Poland does use the standard, the same standard. It just so happens that the standard has "B" variants for several icons.
I guess it's sort of an improvement that I only need to know 1.5 sets of icons instead of 3-5 different ones.
The standard is there. If people decide not to use it that's on them. Just because the US decides not to use the SI units, that says less about the metric system and more about the US.
Most countries in the EU (AFAICT) do use the ISO standard.
The fact that one country does not use it is not an argument that that standard is not a standard.
