Thats probably not even true. The German community still has a large following of smaller regiments and same with the French scene but not as much.
Yeah I can agree, IVe Corps (french speaking) is very big brigade, and german 'smaller' regs together are also big...
Just as an example to help you get some facts to use as a foundation for your list rather then only your personal opinions, let`s do some quick maths
2Lr + the whole KK + 71st + Nr13 + 18tes / DL + AR Nr1 + the 3-4 small german regs + all of the germans which are spread in international regs = ?
Now try to do the same thing with the british regs and their UK Players and compare
