And here you see that "interoperability" is not a very progressive demand, but a conservative one. At least is it not progressive in itself - then, paleoconservatives wouldn't endorse it.

Interoperability requires conservatism in general if you want to avoid breaking a ton of APIs that third parties rely on.
