On ARM it is 8 bit + manipulation of value

No, I'm saying the opposite
What I want to say is that because it supports a big variety of processors it tries to do too much AND that our focus should be in more expressive languages in more powerful machines
C is great for a microcontroller with limited resources and inputs
