I've worked with counterexamples to all of these - not that I'd dispute 
the general thrust much. For asic I would have guessed the USA leaned 
to verilog a tad.     And Australia is VHDL.  (all .001% of the world market)..

Perhaps the key - as you observe - is to emphasize  translator tools 
to reduce the wastage wherever possible?
