Standardization boards aren't magical cabals of fallen-from-the-sky sage wizards. They're made of tech people appointed by the contributing parties and mayor market players, and sometimes government and academia. Which means MS, Google, Apple, IBM, Meta, etc. All sit at most of the boards of standards from ISO consultation to the W3C. That's one of the ways mega corps define the world.
