Why would they allow other companies to compete with them if they don't have to?
Capitalism and competition exists when there's no way of controlling your brand.
No one is stopping Apple or Nuendo from creating (or buying) their own protocol and building large controllers around that. But they know that without Pro Tools, there's no market for it.
So Avid should just give that away?
Should they let other companies design HDX cards that work with Pro Tools as well?
The fact that the S6 works with all Eucon enabled DAWs is a great step towards avoiding the Control 24 - Pro Control situation.
If those units would still work with Logic or Nuendo but not Pro Tools 11, you could just switch DAWs and still have a working unit.
