Even so, github does have a ton of very very popular C libraries(like https://github.com/nothings/stb). I was bringing up the OS provided ones since they claimed not to be able to find any. My main point is that it is patently absurd to claim that they could not find C libraries.

The next pain point is that most of those libraries have custom build processes etc. This is a far cry from what most developers work with. Conan is making progress, but the overlap of C projects which also work with Conan appears small.

Many practical C projects seem to simply fork any dependencies they want to use and stick them in their own internal repo/build process.
