Does running a proprietary system rule out competition and restrict you to recreation? I have no idea what the FIFA-equivalents is for bowling, but I imagine there is one, and I imagine that it has a list of rules for lanes to qualify as competition venues, including scoring systems from approved vendors, etc.
Yep, USBC. You're exactly right, they do have pretty precise requirements for sanctioned league play. But casual 'open' bowlers don't care about that stuff for the most part. So if we're not running a league, we can flip back and forth and run the two systems in parallel (less maintenance on my very-expensive-sanctioned gear at the very least)
Some kind of work can live in this "put it in a well structured & considered ticket" mode, some cannot. If this is your style and you've found a place where it works, fantastic, but I don't believe this to be generalizable.
I share your opinons! And, I have an EV - its a wonderfully utilitarian, fantastically reliable, incredibly cheap transportation device. But its a passion-inducing as driving a golf cart - all utility, no drama, no experience.
I don't think Lamborghini etc will close up - I think they'll just get more and more expensive as ICE engines get penalized in more markets.
