I'm tempted to say because there are now much higher level languages
than C, whose implementations indeed use it mostly as portable assembly.
But then I remember Lisp was there when Dennis Ritchie was still a kid,
so C was actually never a high level language to begin with, and the
fact that it was created most specifically to allow to port Unix to
other platforms should be a good clue of its original intent...
