Somebody posted an article here a few days ago about the ways big corporations kill Open source software. The broad overview was essentially that they'll adopt the standard, then expand on it to create a more feature rich walled garden. Then they axe the connections to the original protocols when they have critical mass, and begin the enshittification process.
