Why do people prefer C over C++?

Everyone knows C++ is better than C in far more aspects, and supports C features as well... Then why do people still want C tutorials? Isn't it time people completely move to C++? All SoloLearn should do is give explanations in C++ Tutorial about how the same task was achieved in C, providing C users some satisfaction...

C++ can use C libraries to power it. With the right amount of skill, you could use both at the same time.

At memory management and efficiency C is God. That's why. You can also listen through the words of the legend Linus torvalds on this.

@KinshukVasisht Technically, C can do anything what other languages can do (Including mighty C++). Even in way more efficient way.
