That sounds like a benefit to me :)
However, I think that's due to the general lack of interest in Lisp. You can see the C++ community has a similar ANSI standard and updates it every few years.

I wouldn't call it massive. They are pretty consistent, up until things like POSIX and FFI APIs. Let's agree there is some fragmentation. Isn't this still a better situation than if nothing was guaranteed?
