I'm afraid I don't understand the nuances between when an ecosystem has healthy competition vs when it is fractured.
Certainly if different systems support different amounts of a standard (eg browsers and the web standard), fractured seems like the right term.
Is the requirement for a fractured ecosystem just different APIs for the same thing? Are ML frameworks fractured? I suppose they would be.
What's the solution? Would you propose a VR standard? I imagine cardboard was an attempt at that. But standards are slow moving - not very effective at innovating.
I think a standard will naturally emerge once we know what should be standardized. But you don't want to kill innovation yet.
