Most projects still written in C are those that make extensive use of C libraries. Making the application code immune doesn't actually reduce the vulnerability surface much - much of the vulnerability comes in the libraries the application calls.

Use it for new code. Libraries are written too.

Libraries are usually older than the applications that use them. New libraries can be, and often are, written in new languages.
