One practical reason is that I suspect most C developers aren't interested in building web applications. And most web application developers don't know C.

I think that's a terrible thing. I've been a web app developer for most of my career and I'm not super fluent in c anymore. But c is one of those foundational things every developer should know.

I've used libmicrohttpd for a client in the past.

It was easy, and ridiculously fast.
