Yeah, we could have just standarized around a path to api specs. Maybe .well-known/openapi.yaml

Maybe it's cynical, but the best reason I can come up with is that 'established common url for api specs' does not sound nearly as cool on a CV or when talking about the next promotion as 'invented WebMCP'. And for those implementing it on their websites 'we implemented WebMCP' is again much more 'AI-first' than 'we uploaded our API specs'.
