I think that you are wrong at least for tournaments in Israel and I am not sure
if you are right about most of the games in other countries.

Most of my tournament games have no delay setting.
Most of them are 90 minutes/30 moves+1 hour/rest of the game or 120 minutes/40
moves+1 hour/rest of the game.

Today there are no postponed games like in the past and I guess that in 90% of
the tournaments there is no fisher time control but only time control that is
similiar to most of my tournament games.
