RS232 (1962)? ~ 50 years,
RS232-C (1969)? ~ 43 years
RS232-D (1986)? ~ 26 years

That certainly is a good question,
however its hard to maintain compatibility with
things that break the standard they are designed after.
What / where is the TTL compatible non-standard RS232
implementation specification? References?
I've used some current Maxium that switch at ~ 1.5 V;
I've also used some current TI (RS232-F speced),
that don't switch if the voltage remains positive.

The current version is TIA/EIA-232-F (1997)

Electrical Specification
A logic 0 is represented by a driven voltage between 5 V and 15 V
and a logic 1 of between –5 V and –15 V.
At the receiving end, a voltage between 3 V and 15 V represents a 0
and a voltage of between –3 V and –15 V represents a 1.
Voltages between ±3 V are undefined and lie in the transition region.
This effectively gives a 2-V minimum noise margin at the receiver.
