Becoming widespread? Outside the desktop, the most commonly used operating system is Unix and its "likes" and dominates the internet and mobile devices.

I only cared about C in 1993 and am into computers since 1986.

Only developers with access to expensive UNIX workstations cared about learning C.

Yes, the widespread of UNIX and C as its language is one of the reasons the CVE database gets updated every day.
