> UML is purpose-first, not solution-first

I don't believe that's the case. If we set the Wayback machine for 1999, it's pretty clear: "The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry-standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software systems. It simplifies the complex process of software design, making a 'blueprint' for construction." [1]

It's very clearly about software.
