When my wife and I wanted to catalog our modest home library (~1500 books) we were stunned when we discovered that the vast majority of web-based cataloging software assumes that all books have an ISBN. (Or did in 2015 or so). Thankfully LibraryThing does not make that assumption, and is great.

It was only standardized in 1970 and is only “required” if you want to sell through bookstore channels - many printed items aren’t.
