You are talking about mono-culture and vendor lock-in. Those have little to do with standardization. Also note that from a perspective of most admins, mono-culture is bad, as that means if one thing is broken, everything is broken, while diversity would mean that a bug might not affect all things. On the flip-side though, having only one thing to support does mean less overhead; and if you are thinking about "cloud" firewalls, well, nothing much can be helped there IMHO... Without requirements (which could include "team is 1 person big, hence, not going to bother with multiple things" or "we have zero budget" or "management already decided" ;) little anybody can say if something is good or bad though.
