The correct analogy would be "There are 14 competing standards with a new one released each week that creates doubt about the ongoing use of existing established standards and know one knows what the fuck is going on".
Do you want an open ecosystem or a controlled one? There is no in between, and you will hate it no matter what you choose. On the Open ecosystem side of things you have things like Linux with 10,000 independent distributions doing slightly different things. On the controlled you have Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle telling developers the "right" way to do things.
