It's not an emotional component, it's just plain old network effects.
Unfortunately, a lot more switching cost is involved in getting embedded and systems programmers and platforms over to a new programming language, than is involved in getting construction contractors and industrial engineers to choose a different material.

And c like language on these embedded devices are probably due to the fact that it's the easiest way to implement a programming language(abstraction) that work on bare metal.
