This is a silly argument. You have to do the exact same thing in python if you don't want to use a standard method/function. There's nothing stopping you from using a standard function in c either.

Your rant should be about bad teaching of bad habits instead

What I’m trying to point out, is that C has a lot of compromised and poor design decisions made, as a programming language.

Maybe it was because it was designed in the 1970s, when computers were more primitive. But better alternative languages were designed back then that didn’t have the failings of C.

But these designs permeates throughout the language. So eventually errors keep coming up.
