I am idealistic too, but I don't pretend that idealistic is a business plan, I get a job and build what I want to see in the world on my own dime if I have to.
But my point stands, and confirmed, interoperability;
1. Only matters to idealists, not businesses nor most users.
2. It is incredibly hard and don't scale, because it is too social, it is much simpler to iterate a product vs protocols.
My point here is we have a very very limited budget for interoperable protocols, and it can only be spent effectively on stuff like udp/tcp/http and the last one stretches that.
Everything more complex is a lost cause in my opinion, so all the fuss on Lexicons is really overrated.
Finally I want to point out that if you make a "X lexicon" your sense of mission can still be fulfilled if users have to download your app to get the X use case. You don't need other devs to buy in... you can generously write specs to help them replicate your feature, but all the time you put there is time and energy you don't dedicate to your customers and their needs.
