Calling it a standardness rule seems... uncomfortable. It seems too high, in that a standard is something generally reached by consensus. I think it should be referred to as a convention, which denotes both that it is commonly adhered to, but deviation is not a significant issue.
Thanks, you raise a good point here. As so often, the terminology is a bit weird here. We should lean more into using "mempool policy" instead of speaking of (non-)standard transactions.

Sorry, 2-sats here.
