Software standards enable software to interoperate. Many things
are (somewhat) arbitrary, so the important thing is that everyone agree on what they are.
Sometimes software standards are controlled by private corporations (the Windows GUI interface is owned by Microsoft). Sometimes
software standards are controlled by open, public, or non-profit organizations (the Secure Shell 2 protocol is 'owned' by the
IETF).
