Would that be the case if open standards were used?

Arguably if it's an open interface it's not "integrated". You certainly lose the product improvement and co-design benefits of tight integration when you have to run it past a standard committee.

Or you end up with "open standard with proprietary extension" (bane of everything from HTML to opengl)
