X.Org's server is supposed to be a reference implementation of X11 is it not? There's nothing to stop people from creating an alternative implementation is there?

In this context a ``reference implementation'' means ``We have a monopoly and can do whatever the hell we want''.
Xorg is no different from Intel or Microsoft in this respect.
The situation with Xorg is like with GCC, there is a de-facto monopoly and in the end almost everyone is worse off because of it.
