why would they want to avoid being complaint with a standard. That doesn't make any sense. did they just do a "roll your own" kind of thing and think it's better for some reason? almost every other wallet is compliant they aren't. go figure.
There is no such thing as "standard" in Bitcoin apart from consensus rules. Everything else including mnemonic algorithms are "proposals" and optional which means implementations can choose to use if they like it.
For your information Electrum mnemonic algorithm existed before BIP39, it is addressing some flaws in BIP39 such as lack of a version.
