You mean like aligning MacOS and Windows so the same app works on both? Making proprietary interfaces is a GOAL. Locks in your customers, gives you market leverage. Garmin does this very well.

The V had a Bendix GPS I never did get fully comfortable with and I had to dig up the manual on line and pay for it. None in the bird and the leasor didn't provide. Years ago our 36A was down for cable change so we borrowed our hanger mates 25D. It had some old Loran in it that we couldn't even figure out how to turn on much less use it. We spent 3 days cruising around with a high chart spread across the cockpit spitballing our way between VOR's. it was a total donkey show.....
