Moreover, it also seems like UML has been designed to express the
restricted OO subset of the paradigms supported by languages like C++
and ADA.

And I suspect UML design tools are not that popular within the C and
Lisp programming communities...

Thanks. That was precise answer to one of the questions.

I am not able to answer to everyone, but I see it really boils down to
UMLs restricted nature. That is quite ok.
