It's not about C per-se, as much as each native compiled dependency creates additional maintenance concerns. Changes to hardware/OS can require a recompile or even fixes. NPM build system already requires a JavaScript runtime, so is already handled as part of existing maintenance. The point is that Zopfli either needs to be rewritten for a platform-agnostic abstraction they already support, or else Zopfli will be added to a list of native modules to maintain.

This is a canard. zopfli is written in portable C and is far more portable than the nodejs runtime. On any hardware/OS combo that one can build the nodejs runtime, they certainly can also build and run zopfli.
