You do realize there are a LOT Wifi standards, right?
I mean, compared to WiFi, its genuinely amazing there are only two standards for electric car chargers. and the only reason 2 exists is because Tesla didnt want to share.
Sure, technology moves on and we create as we go. That evolution creates the backwards compatibility problem but it's separate from the incompatible by design problem. These differences are cynically inserted at the interface of systems in order to assert control. I notice that HP are in hot water for operating in this space lately and have been at the vanguard of the project to make ink more expensive than gold. When farmers began their open rebellion against the closed systems of agricultural machinery makers, who also showed up in the court viewing gallery? The reigning champion of proprietary interfaces, Apple.
