Because UNIX was embraced by the enterprise and brought C along.
Algol 68, Modula-2, Mesa, Cedar were all options back when UNIX was being brought to life.
That's also a pet peeve of mine: the amalgamation of OS and compiler/language still feels like an odd design (of course, for me who arrived with time machine in the 2000's, so does teletypes and tape archives).
