Yeah. But most of the beast Python programmers at my work are guys that used C for decades, and have a strong grasp of classic programming and the full toolbelt of awk, sed, perl, bash etc.. I think the "danger" of these lists is they can convince newer devs that all they need is to learn a Python or JS framework to be a valuable contributor on a software team, viewing the world of C programming to be useless. Many of them will end up writing awful code without understanding why, lacking the larger context of the computing ecosystem.
