Because regardless how some of us might dislike C and its security related issues, the truth is that no one is ever going to rewrite UNIX systems in other language, nor the embedded systems where even C++ has issues gaining market share.
So if one finally manages to get a safer C variant that finally wins the hearts of UNIX kernels and embedded devs, it is a win for all, even those that don't care about C on their daily work.
Until it happens, that lower layer all IoT devices and cloud machines will be kept in C, and not all of them will be getting security updates.
