imgui distribute .c/.h files, not .h files with .c embedded in them.

What I'm criticizing is the extra step of me having to write the .c files anyway to avoid bloating the obj files, which should have been done by the library in the first place.

As others have pointed out, you don't need to write extra .c files, and you won't bloat the obj files. This paradigm is fairly common, see, e.g.:
