Or perhaps more similar to what SCSI went through.
I.e., a mix of vendor incompetence and lock-in-motivated
venality.
Since bluetooth is a *local* area communications "standard",

WAP phones have to talk to WAP networks, but gadget
makers might prefer that their own gadgets only talk to
each other.
