I think it's more that we're all aware that standardized bounce messages
would improve everyone's life a lot, but there isn't much we all can do
towards that end and we pretty much have to play the hand that we're
dealt. And some companies are quite fond of proprietary mail systems that
have no concept whatsoever of what a DSN is.
(DSN I think would also have caught on quicker if it were about a tenth of
the complexity that it is. As it stands, it's a good example of a
second-system protocol designed by a committee. :/)
