Partly agree but there would have been squabbling on the data type of the size, unless it was variable length. The latter would have had other issues too.
For a while, 16bit would probably have seemed too extravagant. Now 32bit would probably seem too small.
For a “strongly typed” language, C is pretty damn loose where would have mattered.
