I'm curious, is there any reason that ARM doesn't have a standard platform? Or they are working on that?

It does, and it's called Arm SystemReady.

UEFI + ACPI is required on Arm if you want to boot Windows or RHEL/CentOS, which do not even try to boot on non-standardised 64-bit Arm systems.

Same for SLES/openSUSE, except for some platforms (RPi) where they use u-boot to provide EFI.
They are different vendors, working on different products...
