web standards encompass a vast collection of specifications. It is reasonable to expect implementations to diverge.

Then there is the rapid adoption of mobile platforms, which have become mass-market while at the same time evolving very rapidly, new versions every year. The result is a dispersive medium, a combinatoric sea of browsers, iOS and Android versions, and a crazy variety of form factors.

Simply attempting to adhere to web standards is not sufficient.

It is sufficient. The trick is to be good at marketing. What I mean by that is to niche your product properly and not to care about the rest.

Gives you a much better overall structure for you business in every regard as well.

I can discuss this point further…

The other point here is the question of wether we should force browser vendors to comply to standards. Like we did back then on the desktop to end the browser wars.

Again, I would discuss this point further…
