Quite so, and so monopoly (oligopoly) power is advanced.  "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices," as Adam Smith said.  The IETF is at most a conspiracy of individuals, and is not the agent of any such public harm.
