To a degree, I share your suspicions, but then again, social constructs are a powerful thing. I have no idea why society would want us to believe there was a pot-bellied stove in our childhood homes, but really, why does society want ANYTHING it wants? Also, if minds DO have the same language from individual to individual, it would theoretically make communication across language barriers go more easily. I'm quite sure that there is, at the very least, variation among individuals, but it's hard to say. It's very interesting, I think.
