Not only that, but Rust, C, Zig also require some setup before their `main()` can start as well.

That is why people say they have a "minimal runtime", rather than "no runtime". There is still a bit of setup there, without which the languages cannot function, or can only function in a limited mode.

Otherwise agreed on all your other points.
