Can I have an example of this? In fact, I can't think of any currently ratified spec that wasn't internally developed by the LSC or one of it's members.
The advice I received was that, once ratified, most tech never really continued to be innovated forward in a major fashion.
I wasn't provided examples, however.
It's quite possible that, once a technology is ratified, it's reached near enough to its potential that it no longer has much room for additional features, and there is a measure of coincidence involved.
