I would suggest that "design standards" do not always make things uniformly better, certainly not for end users.

Go look into the design standards used in The Netherlands.
https://international.fhwa.dot.gov/pubs/pl18004/chap03.cfm gives a decent overview of some of those things. They are much better for end users because someone over there cared. Whomever designed the ones in the article clearly does not.

This is kind of my point, at a very general level the statement "$thing follows design standards" may or may not mean that $thing is actually better for users.
