Most frameworks were developed out of the following domains: Government, Business and Military

EAF frameworks are usually forks of existing frameworks

TOGAF is the best established framework. Many frameworks provided the foundation for TOGAF

Few frameworks consider corporate strategy. TOGAF for example allows the use of the Business Motivation Model via the TOGAF Motivation Extension

Very few frameworks can be applied within a SME
