I agree for the most part. Languages designed by committee for wide use rather than designed on-the-fly by a small team for their own use.

For the most part, only the first few languages (such as ALGOL, FORTRAN, COBOL, maybe BASIC, not so much Assembly) would have been created in a vacuum. All languages since then have learned from the strengths and weaknesses of earlier languages and evolved -- such as CPL > BCPL > B > C.
