What exactly are you expecting? The average open source developer might not have access to IEEE standards, but the standards permeate through the entire computer industry. For example IEEE 754 specifics the standard for floating point computation that is used by most modern systems, including every one of the numerous open source JavaScript implementations.
The reason the usage of such standards isn't very visible has nothing to do with open or closed source, it is a function of how low level most IEEE standards are. Most programmers work and much higher levels than IEEE standard, many of which, are only of interest to hardware and driver developers. I expect the number of developers deterred from starting open source projects, because of lack of access to the standards to be quite small.
Never. The larger the project, the larger the cost. The larger the cost, the more importance in getting it done and selling it. Standards are just a set of ideals--they don't sell software for you.

你究竟在期待什么?一般的开源开发人员可能无法接触到 IEEE 标准,但这些标准却渗透到整个计算机行业。例如,IEEE 754 指定了大多数现代系统(包括众多开源 JavaScript 实现中的每一种)所使用的浮点计算标准。
此类标准的使用不太明显的原因与开源或闭源无关,而是大多数 IEEE 标准的低级别的函数。大多数程序员的工作水平比 IEEE 标准高得多,其中许多标准仅对硬件和驱动程序开发人员感兴趣。我预计由于无法访问标准而阻止启动开源项目的开发人员数量相当少。

绝不。项目越大,成本就越大。成本越大,完成并销售它就越重要。标准只是一组理想——它们不向您出售软件。
