Exactly, ask the ISO how well the standards specified by their OSI reference model [1] competed with TCP/IP et al. The only substantial remnant of the OSI network standardization process today is the generic concept of protocol layers.
Or see the HTML standardization process. Or a hundred other examples.
Standardization almost always follows implementation, not the other way around.
