This isn't just a developer experience. It's user experience as well. As in "shit doesn't work on my Windows Arm."

Did Linux being written in C stop Intel from abandoning it? The abandonment issues mentioned are mostly orthogonal.

C stopping retreat of corporations from the open source space, is about as likely as a paper mache figure will have an effect on the Dark matter distribution. You are suggesting picking prog. languages will have an effect on global economics.

C being unpopular and thus not picked for development is more due to it being a very footgunny language, without modern programming language conveniences. Like package management or linters available out of the box.
