I think that was what happened during the 8086/68000 processor war, plenty of hardware which were 10 times more powerfull on paper but not backward compatible.
Until a big company described what they supported, imposed standards, and described what they required for the next generation of their OS.
And this big company still do it today, even if those requirement do not seem to be available without NDA.
