No, many people chose C, because they had to.

Yeah but those people are running it on some platform where it’s the only choice. And they are probably running a subset of C99. The likelihood of new features ever making it to those platforms is close to zero.

There is hardly any new C compiler that isn't C11.

I’ve been out of embedded for a bit but last I checked almost nothing actually implemented all of C11?

		There is hardly any compiler worth using that isn't a fork of either GCC or clang. So unless they are stuck on a pre-historic fork, they support C11 as much as clang and GCC do. Exception for stuff like PIC, Z80,... Which didn't even support proper C on their glory days.
