What is Ant's Fit Protocol?

Hi,
I annoyingly see this stuff in some GPS devices. It seems to be a proprietary protocol for wireless communication, also used as a file format. It is resumed here:

https://www.thisisant.com/company/

I'm wondering why companies use that protocol instead of an open standard. Is it because there is no suitable open standard or just because they hate open standards?

I would try and dissuade open source packages, e.g. gpsbabel, to try to support it, since that protocol seems to be going to change unpredictably and hence their software will never work. Opinions?

TIA for any reply
Ale
