LOL, it's gonna be a while Dave. You may never see non-polar or semi-polar diodes commercially produced in violet, but those are almost definitely going to be preferred in blue and green. The biggest problem right now is that they're not manufacturable yet, and one of those reasons is the substrate.
For c-plane GaN right now, the substrate is a 2-inch diameter cylinder, think hockeypuck, so they use that for growing the diodes. For the other planes, the only available substrates right now are made by growing relatively thick hockeypucks that are 2 inches in diameter, and slicing them vertically to get the other planes. The original hockeypucks can only be grown milimeters thick, so right now the biggest non-polar and semi-polar substrates are a few millimeters wide and a max of 2 inches long (and only a few of the slices are 2 inches long, the rest are shorter).
So you can see how the substrates are MUCH smaller, and not only that, but they're all different sizes since they're produced by slicing cylinders vertically, which is bad for mass producing diodes on them. So they're bad for production, and they cost more anyway.
So yeah, once substrate issues get figured out and the diodes improve some more, we'll start seeing them in blue and green diodes.
And I may be wrong, they may very well switch to non-polar or semi-polar GaN for violet in the future if the substrates come available, but right now there's no incentive, since they're already VERY good at making violet diodes even on polar substrates.
