Sounds like you made a decision right there. The rest is just retro-justification, not a logical argument or comparative between options. It works for you, good.

Retro-justification is not some flaw it is most common way people choose tech stacks.

The only logic that matters most of time is business logic of solution serving problem statement and not logic of choosing a technical stack.

It was and is a logical argument. Both C and Rust are much harder to learn.
