I, on the other hand celebrate aligning APIs, interfaces, network
protocols, hard drives, memories, etc.

It shows focus on customer/consumer rather than not invented here, we can
do better sentiment.

Obligatory car analogy - Imagine car companies not learning/copying each
other and designing "better" APIs rather than focussing on better cars.
What an awesome user adventure and customer lock-in scheme that could be.
Especially combined with driver license and gas station only for particular
car brand.

Just my two cents,
Tomas
