We're getting there, with Threads implementing AP soon and any network that doesn't do so will be locked into their own world (usually, for the worse).
The problem is that we might get a Google situation, where at first the company adheres and complies to the standard, but then they innovate so fast and confusingly, that they essentially define the standard, and all other networks have to keep up to remain part of the main flock.
In a winner takes all – that would be Google, and we will see much of the same dark patterns with AP protocols as we do with Browsers now.
So often, the big players who have the power to grow and support standards in a major way are shitty corporations, and the altruistic, ethical organizations are tiny and broke and feeble
