maybe they're talking about the people who work in those fields? though tbh that doesn't make sense either, in my experience the political makeup of embedded people isn't any different than the rest of the tech industry. it might actually skew a bit more conservative since it's made up of older people overall than other fields, and in the US a pretty decent chunk of the jobs available are in the """""defense""""" industry.
I believe C will never die, but I'd still learn Rust or something as a backup for more modern "kinda low level" projects in order to not forever work on legacy stuff.

Nobody really uses it for application programming anymore but in areas like operating systems and firmware it’s still the lingua franca.
I've been an embedded guy my whole career and it's all been nearly exclusively in C. I'm a Rust evangelist though so I push that whenever I can.
