Standardization collapses fixed cost.
As an example - containers are the most efficient way to move anything on Earth. The principle of **standardization** is what makes them so efficient.
Put all your stuff in a container, it then goes onto a standard ship, standard loading facilities in a port, standard train cars/trucks - every piece just clicks together.
Standardization compresses confusion. It results in less optionality, so everyone knows the language and what to expect - leading to more to do elsewhere.
This creates economic surplus as it frees time/resources and they’re harnessed accordingly.
Similarly, the biggest rage in software today is containerized software via Kubernetes and Docker.
