If they just sold test validators and certification services instead ("Certified by ISO"), it'd be such a healthier dynamic.


ISO shouldn't sell anything. It doesn't have a profit motive and can be financed by governments without any problem.


Can and will are two separate things, and even if it happens then you get countries trying to influence decisions with the threat of stopping funding.

That's not to say it wouldn't be better, just that it's not without its own problems.
