Are you really sure of this? I can take any detergent for my dishwasher, any pots for my stove, plug any device into the sockets on my walls. I can continue this into eternity, you get the idea.
There are so many industries that really rely on interoperability and have been for so long, it’s so natural to you you don’t even notice it.
So, going back to your argument: it’s like Doctorov says - the phase of immense oligopolies right now is not the natural state of the web, and something we’ve seen with other industries in the past. We can do something about this.
> going back to your argument
...?
I don't even know if I made an argument .I was merely expressing my observation. If I had an argument that would've be "interoperability is not for granted".
By the way sockets are not globally unified. So yeah web, an interoperable standard across billions of users, is quite a miracle.
