I think it's also students; I think some people are still taught C as their first programming language. If you go on r/C_programming on Reddit, a lot of it is filled by very basic questions from what seem like beginners; I suspect they're students trying to do their homework.

Perhaps not the first language. In my experience C is often in the second batch of languages after the introductory one (java back in my day).
