You are the one adding yet another standard.
He didn't say fewer standards, he said fewer people making them.

As you point out, Jorgen, too many standards for things (trains, electricity, e-books, etc.) gets to be a massive pain in the sitter-downer real quick!

I think what he may be trying to say is that if fewer people set up these types of standards, there will be fewer standards to have to fuss with.
