I don't think this is fair. First-mover advantage is absolutely a thing at the ecosystem level.

There were plenty of first movers before UNIX and C, and later C++. They didn't stick. Now, step up to the plate and fix it.

It is hard to stick against free beer OS, available with source code.

Had UNIX been a comercial endevour and it would have failed, unfortunely it wasn't the case, and now C plagues the industry.
