Wasn’t .docx also supposed to be an open standard but M$ kept fucking with the implementation so it would only work in Office?

So does LibreOffice, but they’ve been called out multiple times for purposefully making the format overly complex to make it as hard as possible to reliable read and write to it.

Yes, it technically is a standard, but because it’s an ISO standard you have to pay for I wouldn’t call it open. www.iso.org/standard/71691.html but people have different definitions of what an open standard is and I’m not trying to critique them.
