The F-35 is pretty utilitarian isn't it?
The problem with everyone designing their own aircraft is you are essentially spending large amounts of time and money doing the same thing, for slightly different outcomes.
Why do that when one team could be building a fighter, another team an advanced stealth bomber, another better more full powered drones and a 4th better missiles or helicopters.
Having a more advanced overall army would outweigh having different fighters in my opinion. Especially considering now a days they serve mostly as a deterrent.
Plus i mean, all of those countries would actually have to be willing to design weapons. Not sure they are really willing to invest that much. I really don't think they are.
