Well, yes but no. With the possible exception of the car-part-incubator, which would have probably worked if they had found a local company to iterate a bit on the prototype design and then sold it as a national product without ever mentioning its heritage, the other examples are clearly all designed to attract western donor funding and everything else was secondary. This is not a “western design” problem or a problem of context appropriateness. Western designs (cars, televisions etc.) do just fine in all these countries when people want them.

It’s not “western” design, it’s that technosolutionism kinda never work lol
