They won't. They'll simply keep adding extensions that suit their needs and expect the entire value-chain (compilers, software libraries) to support them.
These big companies only pay lip service to standardization. The article mentions that Qualcomm needed specific extensions for its own needs, but they fail to elaborate what they were and why they needed them or why they couldn't have used other extensions. My guess is it just happened to work out for them financially or lead-time wise and they went with it, not caring whether anyone else had dome something similar.
