C has been "losing ground" not because of random per peeves of those who never wrote a line of code in C but because since C's last standard update there have been other programming languages that offer developers something of value so that the trade-off between using C or any alternative starts to make technical sense.
It also helps that C's standardization proceeds in ways that feel somewhat between sabotage and utter neglect.
Meanwhile, C is still the absolute best binary interop language devised by mankind.
