Hi Kris...

Companies want to make gear that works with a lot of different equipment, and players want a variety of choices of equipment which work well with their gear.

It's been that way since I installed my first Barcus Berry pickup in the mid-1970s, and continues to this day.

It's interesting that the companies that claim their preamps work 'best' with their branded pickup gear advertise widely in order to sell it to people with other brands of pickup rigs in their guitars.
