I'm not sure it's true that C programmers usually like C? I'm writing C++ code because that's what the Arduino ecosystem uses. It's hardly my favorite language.

It seems like a lot of people choose languages due to ecosystem constraints?

Anywhere the choice of language is constrained like that, by definition the niche language will not be a viable alternative.
