As I'm sure you know, standards workgroups tend to operate in accordance
with a charter that bounds their work. These vary widely depending on
circumstances and the chartering organization(s), but it's not uncommon
for projects - POSIX being one of those -to be set up to standardize
existing practice to provide incentive for various implementations not
to end up diverging from such practice without good reason. It's a
little harsh to characterize operating in accordance with one's charter
as "pretty unfortunate".
