That's a feature, not a bug. Why should I have to be locked in to a proprietary file sharing mechanism that my device manufacturer unilaterally declares I must use?

To have 37 different implementations to achieve this, might be a feature. To have 37 different protocols surely is not.

There should preferably be one open protocol for proximity based wireless ad-hoc file sharing. This protocol can then be implemented by operating systems and/or userland implementations

I turn up at a university to make a presentation. I want to send my powerpoint to the room computer. Which of the 37 apps will it have pre-installed?

Some things are better universally. That bad part is proprietary. It would be best if it was universal and open.
