Nobody is saying that. But to continue your analogy, do you not think that in a world where all the bridges are made of wood it would be notable to say that a new bridge is made of steel?

Of course there are impressive projects made with C. But we generally don't build large bridges out of wood anymore do we.

Notable, sure. But it could turn out to be Tacoma Narrows bridge.

We never did build large bridges out of wood, I think. For the right context, wood is still a preferred material for some bridges.

Yes we did. They just haven't survived. For example London Bridge was "various wooden bridges, AD 50 – 1176".

I guess "large" has a bit of wiggle room built in.
