#6I remember when I was at RealNetworks a long time ago and Microsoft and Real were competing over the future of multimedia languages (SMIL vs HTML+Time).

Is there a reason internally Facebook would have fought something like this? Is it all roses?

There's a little of column A, a little of column B.
Standards allow the information economy to function... but influential companies want their internal practices to become 'the standard'.

Generalization of Hanlen's razor: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by laziness/greed/stupidity.
FB has GraphQL stable and doing exactly what they want it to do. Now they can pass it off to a foundation for maintenance and blame without having to pay out of pocket.
