Cordless tools have been around for quite a while now.

So you'd think that some agreement on standard shapes and sizes would
have been arrived at?

Ryobi, Ridgid and Milwaukee are all subsidiaries of the same parent
company, but even those batteries are *not* interchangeable.

While true, not of much use to demonstrate anything about corporate
governance design of disparate products since TTI didn't exist until
1985 and didn't acquire Milwaukee until 2005, far too late to have had
any influence on lack of divergence in battery designs/pack configurations.
