Not to take away from your points; SciPy is now Fortran-free completely[0] (we are also requiring C++17 at most). NumPy never had it. BLAS is all C/Assembly in all optimized vendors. For LAPACK we are working on it [1].
Once there is enough pain, none of the talking points matter for any language. They don't and can't die but linger. I fear that time for C family might come in a decade which would be a shame given how magical Cpp compilers are, all that effort folks pouring in.
