JEDEC could only standardize ECC modules.

Microsoft, Intel or AMD can, anytime, require ECC for their certification/logo programs.

Intel and AMD could even make their new chips only boot with ECC.

And FCC could make ECC a requirement for certification.

All these parties (and more) are enabling non-ECC memory, to the detriment of mankind.
