I hate their refusal to use standardized symbols

They’ve used that exact same symbol since they first added an Ethernet port to their computers in the early 1990’s. It was one of the first mass-market computers with integrated Ethernet. It literally defined the standard when there was no standards body for such a thing.

The port that put the “i” in the original iMac

Is there a standardized symbol for Ethernet? The only one on the Wikipedia page for Ethernet is Apple’s.

Is it standardized?

And honestly, it depicts a modern Ethernet network worse than the Apple icon does

How do I know that’s not just a segment of a giant token ring
