How about improving existing standard implementations instead of more fragmentation?

[-] Jamie@jamie.moe 25 points 10 months ago

Unless the original standard agrees and implements it, then you've just created a new standard.

There are times when the original standard has zero forwards compatibility in it, such that any improvement made to it necessarily creates a new standard.

And then there's also times when old greybeards simply disregard the improved standard because they are too used to the classic way.
