Interesting question. Actually, I don't know either. But, I know that I have never had a problem playing my WMA music on any device I have owned, including cars, receivers, CD and DVD players, Android devices, etc. But, IPhones will not play a WMA music file. Also, I think that, when Apple started selling music online, they wanted to restrict their AAC music files to only play on Apple devices, but they have loosened up that restriction.
