Out of all the examples that you gave, this is the one that doesn't fit your argument. Cyrillic has a wider range of letters which makes it a better fit for certain languages with a specific phonology. I don't remember which language it was, but I remember reading about one of the countries between Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc. switched from their indigenous writing system to Latin script in the 1930s/1940s to enable usage of standard typewriters etc. And just a few years later, they switched again, to Cyrillic script, after finding that Latin script does not fit their language all that well.
