I must be the lucky one then, as I have found no need for G.729. :-)

If I find a supplier that only supports G.729 then I'll simply not
do business with them.  Giving in only encourages them.

Perhaps, if enough people stopped using these closed "standards",
suppliers would start to support the alternatives, and take up of
VoIP would no longer be held to ransom by greedy monopolists.

Just a thought.
