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.
