Nothing in (rapid) PVSTP is "super scary cisco proprietary".
It's just logical thinking - you have VLANs, you have STP, you need to
combine them to make it work in a useful way. Result: PVSTP.
I was more than astonished to find that other vendors still ship boxes
with single-STP, and sell this as a "feature".

MST is what comes out if vendor committees get together, and agree to
implement the least common determinator in the most complicated way.
