I always ask this question myself (and have an interest in all things no-code). But this is about the underlying Internet layers.

For decades, from the ARPANET to the IETF, a small clique were unchallenged and unhurried in presenting their solutions methodically in RFC after RFC. They did a great job.

Now The upper OSI model is breaking up. Everybody has a vision and a voice. Every day brings new projects like this one here in HN.

There is not even large consensus around that leading Web3 banner [0]. So, IMO this natural selection process will take us at least a decade (or two?) to coagulate into standards that support mainstream "normal users" use cases
