It seems to me that the real issue is standardization of bindings across platforms. Snowboard bindings seem to have this covered (based on what I see, but I don't board so maybe I am wrong). Because the bindings all "mount" the same way, the board comes with a bunch of "inserts" that allow the user to mount any binding in a wide range of orientations.
If alpine and tele bindings could all come up with some standard of hole spacing (even if some bindings required 6 screws and others 4, or 8), all skis could come with inserts spaced over a decent range, allowing people to mount different bindings in different spots. Isn't it the standardization of snowboard bindings that allows snowboards to have this?
