Where is the monoculture here?

If there were only one implementation for ASN.1 people would decry that whatever that implementation does effectively becomes the standard, and people would be clamoring to write a second implementation.

Ok, but there are many implementations. And the ASN.1 specs are really clear and readable (once you have a mental model of them).

Yes, which is why the contrast with monoculture is interesting. Hence my original comment.
