MSVC support C11 because it a prerequisite for C++17. The limits are you need to compile in C++, so the very few changes/incompatibilities between C and C++ always bend to the C++ choices. The preprocessor isn't what people used to have in C99 so some macro still not portable.

To the best of my knowledge (i.e. not updated since C++14), C++ is no longer a strict superset of C as of C99, and there are C99 features that are not available in C++, so I'm not sure that's the case. But plenty of overlap, for sure.
