Aren’t those just called specifications? As long as the manufacturer meets those then it’s pretty much fair game what else they do.
CPU manufacturers have a lot of say on what motherboard manufacturers can/must do.

Suppose those specifications designed with the CPU maker’s profits in mind. Maybe motherboard manufacturers lose perks if they misbehave beyond just specifications.
Heck, even GPU makers have managed to make motherboard makers their bitch in the past: licensing chips to support their multi-GPU tech.
