X/Y/Z are the lowest common denominators.. every system has support for them
pretty much.  So even if there was better, they didn't have long enough for
widespread adoption to make them last.

A lot of transfer protocols won't behave over the interwebs due to latency..
TLP doesn't get any assist in the department being 2-3 layers before you
reach the BBS. I can barely get any of it to run over LAN let alone from
something from remote.
