The 'embedded' market runs the gamut from $0.05 to $15+ and within that range, users have different concerns.
At the $15 end of the market, developers have a good chance of wanting to import code from other sources. For example, depending on the application, they might need an RTOS to provide multi-threading, FAT32 for an SD card, or a network stack with SSL implementation.
Often, the developer will want a 'lightweight' library, i.e. one intended for microcontrollers, and often this will be written in C.
