Actually, it is a goal, and part of the success, of
the open source SDR groups, that things are not done
the way of the rest of the planet.
There is plenty of room for those who, for example,
wish recoup their investment in a proprietary CoDec
and want to require everything to pass through it.
There is also room for an experimental, collaborative
group that is donating their talents and efforts for
something that is open to many.

But that's not reality.
DVSI has invested millions of dollars into the development of a state-of-the-art solution with AMBE. It is the successor to the IMBE chip that is used in the P25 protocol. It provides compression that is well beyond that of the open source solutions that exist today. And, even more appropriately, it fits in a handheld radio.
But, if the Flex community doesn't want to do something that is currently being
done with other VHF/UHF radios, then that is definitely their prerogative.
