I suspect the reason this kind of change doesn't happen is, if you want to make breaking changes like splitting libc, then you might as well fix all the crap APIs, at which point you might as well fix the crap language choice (and use say Rust instead) at which point libc is a low level abstraction that you hardly care about.
