Capitalism; IOW shareholder value and vendor lock-in.

It's' difficult to get separate corporations to implement compatibility when their profits and lock-in rely on vendor lock-in.

They already do on harder things like video codecs.

Alliance for Open Media (AV1/VP9 creators) steam-rolled over MPEG; has everyone big on board (Apple joined recently); is open and works on Linux.

Why not filesystems?

But I guess as people move to cloud, it matters way less how to share USB flash drives.
