Yes, C is a set of abstractions like any other language (even assembly.) which attempt to mimic a machine of far less complexity. Unfortunately it's also the wrong set of abstractions for the contemporary era. That said, if you're working in low-level embedded microcontroller world, C's memory model and program structure does in fact look a lot more like those systems.
