I'm not sure it's because "no one has thought of a better one", but perhaps more that it's become the de-facto thanks to its almost universal use in software. I can't see how this could ever easily change.

Isn't it the universal standard because there isn't something better?

I agree though, there isn't a obvious replacement.
