They've been teaching C in universities for like 40 years to every Computer Science and Engineering student. The number of professionally trained developers who know C compared to Rust is not even close. (And a lot of us are writing Python because it's easy and productive, not because we don't know other languages.)

In an ecosystem where the primary implementation of the language is in C and nearly all native extensions are written in C do you really not know the answer to that?
