I can't explain it well, but I somewhat have the feeling that "ver" also mostly indicates an irrevocable change. All of the words you listed can be used as a status for current conditions. The best example is probably "versterben".
It's hard to grasp, but I think "ver" has some subliminal meaning. The "ver" words feel different than their synonyms.
