    A standard which is a “newer” version of an old standard, when a new objectively better standard already exists to replace it.

      It’s like standard in computers. It’s not meant to be better, it’s meant to imprison the user with the company tools.

        Well it depends. Open standards are created to hopefully catch on by multiple manufacturers and make the interoperability better to make it easier for both consumers and manufacturers.

        Proprietary standards are just simply to lock you into their ecosystem.
