> It feels exactly like if all the emacs users in the world tried to force all vim users to use emacs.

I don't know about forcing, but there's certainly a long history of emacs users trying to convince vim users that they're wrong. Without loss of generality - the same is true in the other direction of course.

Software devs are more than used to having a multitude of tools at our disposal (text editors, programming languages, Linux distros...), having strong preferences, and engaging in the delicate balancing act of advocating for our favourites while living-and-letting-live as the cosmic ballet goes on. It's part of our culture; I don't think that culture necessarily exists outside. For instance, a common layman question to ask is, "Why are there so many programming languages? Why doesn't everyone just use the same one?" And I don't think mathematicians are immune to this blind spot.

The nearest equivalent to "tooling" in math, traditionally, would be notation I suppose, and mathematicians are accustomed to eventually coalescing around a single standard notation.
