You're talking about experts in programming language design. They decided that C's syntax was the best for their needs.

Then the whole software development world adopted these languages, based in no small part due to their readability and user-friendlyness.

If you think the whole world is wrong and you are the only one who is right then sure why not?

If I was the only one, you wouldn't have all the other languages around, a lot of which have nothing in common with C.

C is good enough for some tasks. It doesn't mean it's good. I don't see many of those programming language experts saying that C is good. I see many people who don't think they need anything more than C in their work.
