Great question! Current HDLs tend to primarily be focussed on digital circuit design, while at the PCBA level, there's a lot more focus on the "fuzziness" of the physical world (eg. tolerances).

We also noticed that most EEs we've worked with were a bit put off by the syntax and preferred something a bit more terse, but more intuitive and easier to read.

There perhaps an analog here in software - where we started with assembly (~ SPICE), moved up through things like C and now languages like Python and JavaScript are prolific and accessible.
