there are no decent pedals, because the interface lacks a 45° chamfer
Well, there's that, but it's not going to change.

Speaking of Jobst in the present tense; he was still alive thirteen years ago...
It could conceivably change - the lock-in could be sidestepped if there was a tool to cut the chamfer in existing cranks, split collets provided with cranks which incorporate the new chamfer for the fitment of old pedals, and available to folks who've had their old cranks modified, and concave-tapered washers provided with pedals incorporating the new chamfer in case they need to be fitted to older or unmodified cranks.
Bigger changes have happened, but this one is admittedly on the edge of possibility for a few reasons...

I agree with Jobst Brandt, that there are no decent pedals, because the interface lacks a 45° chamfer. From this vantage point, pedal washers offer a barely significant improvement...
