You keep making these sorts of comments on various threads which tells me that perhaps you are not clear on the idea of an "Abstract machine" which underpins all high-level languages.
The gap between the "C Abstract Machine" and the actual Hardware underneath is smaller than most other high-level languages. This comment by user haberman puts it very nicely - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46910015
