That "refusal" is by design.

Using standardisation to improve productivity has been the backbone of the industrial revolution ever since we first standardised screw threads in the 19th century.

It's undeniable that we've lost some cultural richness in the process, but if that means I don't have to work a field for 12 hours a day just to get enough food to survive like my ancestors did, then I'll accept the tradeoff.
