Exactly. That's why I always stress the importance of the IETF. The whole point of the IETF is that you cooperate with people, deal with opposite opinions, accept criticism, come to agreement, develop a compromise and produce a high quality absurdly documented standard. In Matrix bubble (and any others, see cryptocurrency or p2p community for example) they are the only one who makes the decision. They don't care on other opinions. If you disagree with them you're asked to stop "fighting", "focus on interaction", "understand their goals" and other meaningless stuff like "let the best standard wins" (when in reality the whole point of the standard is to cooperate). Formally speaking they try to substitute a "standard document" with an "open document" and people kinda swallow this because they don't see the difference.
