First off, nobody's praising C. Second, those other developments - which I quite likely know better than you do so stop trying to show off or make an implied appeal to authority - are out of scope wrt an article that's specifically about C. I think it would be great if the world had converged on something like Mesa instead of C, but that didn't happen and it's not clear that it would have prevented misguided rants like the OP from being written. Whataboutism is not the same as understanding/respecting essential context.
