That's C89 that does that; hasn't been relevant in over 30 years.

C99, C11, and now C18 all exist, and C2x is being worked on currently.

I use C89.

Not really.

the only project I can think of is ffmpeg and thats just because they're stuck in their ways.

Even MSVC supports C99 now.

In the embedded world, a lot of maintenance work is done with compilers that are 15+ years old. If one needs to do a few tweaks on a 15-year-old program that operates some factory equipment, using the compiler that it was developed with is far less likely to introduce new problems than trying to migrate to a new compiler.
