Language standards have plenty of power over compiler vendors, however, very few people that are not involved in writing compilers tend to participate in the standards process. Standards bodies bend to the will of those participating.
Not really, there are several features that can be used as example of compiler vendors ignoring standard features that they deemed inconvenient to implement, or undesirable for their customers.
