DKordic, that is quite common with electronic standards. See also USB (e.g. the nintendo switch game console uses USB connectors and cables for charging, but it's not official USB, nintendo hasn't paid the licensee fee for it, therefore no USB logo on the device and it might violate the USB spec)

people don't appreciate enough how great and low barrier accessible internet standards (RFC) are
<beneroth>
mobile phone electronics and telephone electronics (and software) are especially horrible, standards are not freely accessible and often not even accessible for money unless you belong to the right club of telecom companies. That is likely the main reasons why we don't see more open smart phones
<beneroth>
WLAN is also an electronics standard (IEEE), and because accessing their standard documents costs money, less people review it. That has a significant security impact - security vulnerabilities in RFCs are usually very early on solved directly in the protocol/data format or well documented so implementors can take appropriate measures. In contrast, electronic standards like WLAN or bluetooth are full of security gotchas including serious security
<beneroth>
and/or DoS vulnerabilities in the standard itself

culture matters

It could be "Defective by Design" as FSF would put it.
