You are making a simplifying assumption here, which might somehow
affect the conclusions. Namely, that they are interested in making
"interoperable components", which is clearly not the case, since the
usual answer you get from that crew is "won't fix" and "it's your
software and your problem, not mine".

I am nevertheless convinced that evolution will eventually average out
such evident anomalies, because the free software community has been
based on collaborative behaviour, and if "won't fix" becomes the norm,
there will not be a community any more...
