    That would be nice, but most likely that would also mean that getting every service to make changes at around the same time pretty much impossible - which would be essential when e.g. the protocol needs to be updated to deal with new threats.

    But who knows; I believe the Digital Markets Act intended to achieve something like this?

        Emails have had major problems with federation too, despite the fact that most email standards have been unchanged or only had minor changes since the early 1980s. You just usually don’t notice so much since most of those are only a headache for mail server administrators, not so much for end users.
