What would you call a language that forces you to write / use a preprocessor to introduce higher-level features?

Low-level. More specifically, low-level for the domain where you're working. C is admittedly low-level because it had to be minimal even for 1970 and close to the metal. Other languages usually enjoy less drastic design constraints.

Yep, that is why some were already using PL/I and Algol dialects almost 10 years before C came to be, alongside Fortran, Cobol and Lisp.
