Why did it take decades to develop the current cereal box lid lock?

I have had a conspiracy theory for years that the major cereal players have agreed that none of them would do that, which saves them all a penny or so per box that adds up to millions of $$$ over time.

The idea is obvious as hell, but they know that if one offers it they will only have an advantage for a few weeks until the others offer it too. Then they all have to pay for it with no more advantage.

It's sort of like the car dealers supporting the state law that says they must close on Sunday.

Or cupholders in cars that were more than the 1/8 inch deep built into the inside of the glove compartment door. Had to buy one that clipped onto the door. Hit a pothole one day, boom drink everywhere. Yeah, was a bit late for school that day.
