One of the things I like about ERC-721/1155 is tokenURI. I own a specific token and it directly references the stuff it represents. All interfaces (wallets, dApps) support this relationship so when I look at what I own it shows the “stuff” Erc-20 is “just a token” though. These assets show up in my wallet under “Crypto” while the other stuff is organized under the NFT tab. @zora has co-opted Erc-20 and simply added “content”:{} to the contractURI. This isn't part of the standard though: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7572 Where’s the EIP to propose this change? It feels cabal-like if @jacob @jessepollak @mikedemarais.eth @dwr.eth just “decide” that UIs will support this change (assuming Coinbase wallet, rainbow, and warplet make this update, which it seems like they will). Does this weaken Ethereum if the defacto application "leaders" are making changes now without consulting the wider community and proposing new standards? https://warpcast.com/jessepollak/0x6b8d4cb7

As someone building a platform that needs to understand ERC-20 content then using this EIP makes sense, same for adding a custom field to the return type. Why not? If the addition grows to the size that it should become an EIP then that makes sense too, but really following all of these rules (ERC & EIP included) is just a choice for anyone building on Ethereum. If you don't adhere to the standard ERCs then your contracts become more complex to integrate with the broader ecosystem. Imagine trying to release art without adhering to ERC-721 - your token wouldn't show up on any ecosystem marketplace/NFT viewer. So not really sure using the term "application leaders", or "cabal" is appropriate here. You could apply those terms to anyone who introduced, or voted for an ERC or EIP ever, and the Ethereum ecosystem is growing as a combination of everyones contributions. If adding "content" really does bring value, I would back the EIP.
