Most people coding in C don't hang out on HN or SO. They are typically electrical engineers working for companies selling hardware. They tend to be less web savvy than the average CS/programmer types, but they're the ones building the guts of the infrastructure that runs the world.
C isn't going anywhere, even in 10 years. People keep floating Rust and the like, but most targets for C have 16KB program space, and about that much in RAM budget. The C standard library itself is opportunistically linked on these platforms.
The dependencies required for Rust, or even C++, are larger than the code space of 90% of the microcontrollers in your car
