If you want to be compliant for a standard you need to have a copy of it. Luckily it's only companies that really need to buy them
Which means the companies using the specs pay the company making the specs for everyone (companies and people) to use.
That sounds fair, but I wouldn't be surprised if capitalism fucked it up anyhow.
