Hot take: ISO standards do not meaningfully matter to me, because an extremely impoverished, unbanked person cannot freely access their contents from a smartphone or library computer.
Therefore, I go out of my way to avoid referring to them or relying on them in anyway.
@soatok ISO standards are behind a fuckin paywall?

It is often hard to get the people that fund the making and updating of standards to also pay for publishing, maintdnance of the organisation that publishes and updates, etc.
I do comparable work, and though we would like to see that these costs are paid in advance by the funding parties, they can't go much further than a little contribution for a minimum of dissemination work.
