Some embedded platforms don't have memory protection, but just a big blob of global heap memory. If you forget to call free(), that memory is gone for good until you clear the entire ram and start over. Admittedly this doesn't seem to be a target use case of V, which only supports x86_64, but any serious C competitor must have meticulous memory accounting and not rely on the OS to clean up after it.
