Thank you for writing this. Very thoughtful insight and analysis.
If commercial entities design and deploy HEMs, they will likely establish their own proprietary standards. If this was rolled out by one or two major chip designers before any regulatory framework exists, I would think this would undermine any push for government requirements. Some would argue that self-regulation is sufficient, and any government standard would be different than existing proprietary designs, creating friction or the need to redesign.
Better to have proprietary standards than no standards at all though. Hopefully something like flexHEGs would be designed by the commercial entities, which seem flexible enough to make redesigns unnecessary.

Good point!
