Same reason "clothes" cannot be considered standardized. Someone will think standard is jeans and T-shirt, for others it's a suit, and for others a dress, some will change clothes regularly, and others will only wear Nike shoes. If you try to define what everyone should wear you'll get people pissed off, and they will still wear what they want.
I guess it depends on how "standard" is defined. Ie, its pretty standard for shirts to have 2 arm holes, one head/neck hole, and one body hole and therefore they work for the vast majority of users.
Yes, but that's like saying "it's pretty standard for DE to have one minimize button, one maximize button and a close button". I chose clothes because they can't be standardized for the same reason as Linux, i.e. they're modular and people have different tastes on each of the modules, so the full thing can never be standardized even if some of the modules are quite similar among themselves.
