In general those are the reasons I see people give for why they still use C instead of C++ or newer languages. Also all of those things were, and maybe still are necessary for embedded systems where C still dominates.

To me it comes down to Zig is a "modern" C, but unlike most other attempts at replacing C it doesn't skip some of C's use cases.
