You REALLY don't get it, do you?

Apple itself was the root-cause of these incompatibilities, not the  
DRAM manufacturers.

The faults were in Apple's DRAM controller LSIs.

And, in the POST code which was supposed to read the serial ROM on  
each stick, translate that data, and then properly program the DRAM  
controller's internal access registers.
