This is true, and I agree. I think I may have missed this in your original comment:

Yes, absolutely. Standards are driven by successful implementations. My point was that more, better implementations (leading to new and improved standards) are not a bad thing. The web stagnated during IE's dominance, and it may develop the same sort of stagnation under the dominance of Blink. Some degree of competition is good to keep things moving forward in ways that users want.
