The failure of GDL is evident in the market share of ArchiCAD, the availability of library parts and the adoption from vendors. All these in comparison with the BIM field leader which for the last 6-7 years has been Revit.
If you learn programming code, you can do lot of things. Absolutely! Who don't know that? However, what about other issues that architects have to learn? Time is limited and architects has lot of things to do.

@jl_lt
It was the opposite, how to create Topographic contours from any mesh. By the way, how many programs that have not implemented this option !!

-For the GDL object creation. Why instead of all of us wanting every manufacturer on earth spend precious resources on modelling their products and updating them every year, which in the case of GDL it has already been established by most everyone that it is no walk in the park.
Manufacturers don't invest on Archicad Objects not because they have limited resources, but because Archicad Objects aren't popular. The cost to develop and maintain an Archicad Library is peanuts compared with their annual budget for magazine advertising. If Graphisoft doesn't provide a cool/easy/popular solution for commercial parametric content creationinsideArchicad it won't work. Like Clarence said GS tried this (BIMComponents) putting the chariot after the horses. And now it is just another waste of GS resources.
And also the maintenance of the global database that you suggest could become a nightmare for GS in a few weeks.
IMHO the thing must be like this:
The result:
- Graphisoft provides a cool/easy/popular/stable solution for commercial parametric content creation
insideArchicad; - Users start using it and producing their own content;
- Manufacturers notice that architects are using and sharing it ALOT;
- Manufacturers contact some developer (if not someone inhouse) to make some inicial content;
- Put it on their own website or other BIMObject like platform;
- See that the "fish" is biting the worm (Lots of downloads and increase on sales);
- Repeat 4/5/6.
- Archicad users with a big smile on their faces;
- Graphisoft with more licences sold not only to architects, but to manufacturers, as they will start producing and maintaining their own content;
- Graphisoft technical resources will be free to keep up the good hard work developing Archicad;
- Young Architects that don't use Archicad will start to learn it to increase their job opportunities, as manufacturers will need them to create and maintain their commercial BIM content;
- Finally Graphisoft will reach the so called Bigger Market Share.

Or maybe it's that common inability we often suffer from of clearly communicating our thoughts and understanding each other through a medium that cuts out almost half of what we like to say, if not how we want to say it.
