$100 isn't a roadblock to a funded implementation effort, but that's not the only meaningful interaction a functioning society can or should have with a standard. $100 is a large roadblock to many other types of meaningful interaction.
Because I'm not an idealist, and I don't want to be one. I'd like to think I'm a practical person who looks at what can be done realistically. It has worked out OK for me so far. YMMV.

"What they should be" is always an arguable position. We can only hold them accountable to their own charter.
Why on earth would you think that? I don't give one whit about their charter. Neither should you. In all likelihood, neither do they.
