Because without governments, there would be no matching power sockets? Bullshit. And APIs are way more complicated than that.
You want a government standard for social networks, so they all have the same features? Essentially it would be frozen how social networks work, and we would be stuck with that forever? Or if we are lucky, we can elect a committee that decides on new features and gets paid billions of tax payer money?
APIs for crappy social networks are not more complicated that the needs of electrical safety, power transmission, etc.
you should pick up a book on electrical engineering, maybe then you'd learn to respect 'real' engineering where you can't get away with spit balling everything the way we do in software design. If mechanical engineers had the attitude developers do, planes would be falling out of the sky, and civilisation would have collapsed and died of famine.
