Lol...we do this on the astronomy / astrophotography side! We have universal astronomy standards for communication: ASCOM standards drivers (On the windows side), and ASCOM/Alpaca & INDIGO (on the mac/linux side) and between mounts, and auto-focusers, and rotators, and filters, and cameras and auto-guiders, and environment controls and dome control, and power management, and guiding software and stacking software and imaging software, and scope control software and planetarium software and sequencing software and, and....well you get the idea. BUT, by using ASCOM standard drivers (which is THE standard), many if not most all equipment manufacturers use and software developers interface with, most of the times you get everything talking to each other and working as it should. It's actually amazing any of it works at all...lol. You also tend to NEVER update your equipment control computer too, simply because once it works...leave it alone.
However, ASCOM is an open group of independent developers and manufacturers who recognize the need to standardize. Astronomy is a big business from backyard hobby to advanced amateurs to professional research, pretty much using the same or very similar equipment and software. That amateurs have access to research grade equipment is only limited by your pocket book. Not sure there is enough momentum or critical mass in rocketry for this type of standardization, but perhaps there are enough of us out there with the technical knowledge to code/script at that level?
