So people keep asserting.

Partly implementing a Standard is futile.  Implementing it in whole
would have advantage *if* there were libraries of routines to use.
This never happened in Forth for the reason that whereas other
languages are swamped with users - Forth is swamped with
implementers.

When users get bored they write new apps and libraries.  When
implementers get bored they write a new Standard :)
