There are many languages with excellent C ABI compatibility with nearly the same portability, as well as some languages that compile down to C, while offering more safety and productivity.

So aside from performance and legacy codebases, there's no huge incentive to start a project in C these days. I think those who do it, do it in spite of the alternatives out there.
