I read what I could without buying it. Have you bought it, or did you get it free as an AES member?
Anyway...
"Most high end audio manufacturers don't know about the standard so buyer beware. "
If most high end audio manufacturers don't know about it, then what difference does it make? There are MANY AES standards which are not followed, sometimes to get better data transmission, sometimes to get better sound, sometimes because they're not useful or applicable, sometimes because...

I got it free this morning after paying $125 to become a member.
I doubt the balanced cables I was sent to audition with naked ends would fit the AES standard. But I'll have to do more reading to be sure.
Good for you!
Getting a free paper every now and then is the only reason why I'd join AES again (no offense to AES intended). I was a member on and off for many years, but the journals really started to pile up, and I'd read "maybe" one paper from each issue. Ditto for the ASA (Acoustical Society of America). Ditto for the ITG (International Trumpet Guild). It's an overwhelming amount of material to keep around, unless you've got a university department to store it all. I've whittled it all down to a manageable amount, but I still have some which go back to 1975 (with the red covers!) because they contain important work which is pertinent to my interests.
Just fyi, if you decide to go the convention, you can get an "exhibits only" pass for free, and go on the various tours (for a nominal charge).

If it was commonly followed outside of the boutique audio business, and a boutique manufacturer was simply ignorant of it, I would be more skeptical of that company.
If they knew about it and rejected aspects of it for one reason or another thinking they had a better approach, then that's just fine my me philosophically. I'd be even more impressed if they could demonstrate to me their advantages, too.
