You somehow managed to criticize Zig for being something that C isn't, lacking macros, preprocessor and whatnot, and yet praise Go and Python for being opinionated about their features, which don't have preprocessors or macros.

Not really. I praise Python for simple syntax and Go for simplicity of language features.

And I criticize Zig for trying to be another kitchen sink (despite having no macros or preprocessor).
