The core issue here is not the quality of the standard (it'll be gone and forgotten in the blink of an eye) but that a company that produces defective crap and has everyone convinced it's "quality" by having repeated the word "quality" over and over, and has a history of trying to force its proprietary technology on consumers for decades just as everyone's invested in a different technology, has been allowed to do it again.
