I think it'll help you to know that Chet Ramey is bash's maintainer (the
persons that's responsible for the source of the bash interpreter). So his
explanation of how bash works is authoritative.

Now, I don't know why you bring the subject of standarization, because it seems
that you do not understand it very well. That two things follow a standard
doesn't mean that they will behave identically for all possible situations. It
only means that they'll behave in a compatible manner in the cases contained in
the standard. find's globs and bash globs are compatible in their basic form,
but bash supports an advanced form of globs (extglob), that's why it can't use
a simple library function to perform the expansion of globs.
