"not a rules problem"

I beg to differ.

The only difference between your run of mill solar/battery inverter and a grid forming inverter is ... software. Source NREL: https://docs.nrel.gov/docs/fy24osti/90256.pdf

Grid connected inverter software has to follow mandated rules defined by the grid managing organisation, otherwise it's simply illegal to connect it to the grid.

So if there are issues related to the behaviour of the grid connected inverters, except for bugs, mismanagement or hardware failure, it's 100% the fault of the grid managing organisation.

Inverters can provide grid stability if and only if the grid managing organisations allows it by putting in place rules and market mechanisms for it.
