Apple ever using open standards at all seems to have just been a historical happy accident.
When OS X was released, half the point was that they were now a compatible Unix system using interoperable standards.
SpongeBob meme of SpongeBob showing Patrick open standards. The second to last panel shows JPEGXL.
But yeah, they really dropped the ball on OpenGL and then Vulkan. I remember when OpenGL was new and Apple was a huge proponent. Quake III was on Mac OS first because of it, etc etc.
Open standards were an advantage when Apple was more niche. Now they are dominant in smartphones.
