Great article!

Yeah, that pattern can be seen everywhere in semiconductors. E.g. the transistor invention vs. Lilienfeld, Heil, Matare etc. So the scope is more narrow than "Inventend Semiconductors".

Generally, there seems to be a tendency to disregard discoveries from outside the US. I think this pattern can still be observed today...

Other examples: Invention of light bulb, telephone.
