This is an argument I often hear. I do, however, believe that you cannot see
technology in isolation.
That's because you are being a political animal and not a pure
technologist here which violates the charter of the IETF in spades.
If the IETF is only set up to standardize technology then it cannot
refuse to accept anything, further its members who try and block
protocol's standardization regularly commit antitrust and TI by
sabotaging various initiatives, and IMHO they need to be formally
spanked (by lawyers) and sent to bed with no supper. There is no
political or legal activity of the IETF in its standardization practice
and it cannot implement social policy around what it standardizes and
doesn't IMHO.
However, in many cases the technology, regulatory environment, business
aspects, and the social context gets mixed together.
