True, yet Frama-C and MISRA-C do exist, and certified compilers, which Rust is yet to have.
To prove how hard it is to replace C, even Microsoft with its security speech and "we don't need C on Windows" has given up to market pressure.
The Azure Sphere device whose marketing message is all about secure IoT, uses C as its only language, despite endless requests for C++, Rust, C# support.
The new MSVC version will support C11 and C17, minus the C99 features that became optional in C11.
Language evangelism without market understanding doesn't go far.
