this creates the idea that it is “industry standard practice”
I think countering this is basically the point of the recommendations for industry-wide safety? Part of the structure of RSP v3 is to clearly say, when diverging from the practices that would provide a positively low risk level, “this practice poses unacceptably high catastrophic risk, and it would be better if the industry were to collectively do this other thing instead”.
Publishing guidelines that you don’t follow because (some complicated sociopolitical hedging/reasoning goes here which amounts to “well, sir, everyone was speeding last night”) makes it very easy for those opposed to the guidelines to accuse you of hypocrisy, “do as I say not as I do” etc. I therefore have a low estimate on the impact of the industry-standard recommendations. Basically, it’s hard to preach veganism successfully as a non-vegan.
