Doesn’t that almost always require a significant government intervention/regulation.

Phone and laptop chargers converged from numerous standards to just a few all on their own I think, no?

Yes, but under treath of lawmakers mandating a single standard. And the EU has now forced a single standard anyway on smartphones, tablets, etc.

Although I agree that there are quite a few examples of a “naturally emerging” single standards without lawmaker intervention, but this is not really one of them…

I thought this is an example where standards in part converged naturally. But I agree that regulation was fundamental part of this process.
