They do, by decreasing the dependency on C, and the lack of interest WG14 shows in improving C.
It is like gardening, slowly taking away all the paths bad weeds are still able to spoil the garden.
We might not remove all of them, however if they are only able to thrive on a little gardner corner surrouned by sand is already an improvement.
As I said before, insulting volunteers and also misrepresenting what is in the power of an ISO group of experts is bad style IMHO, but I also think you are misguided in thinking that moving away from C towards more complexity is good. My own IT security and sovereignty is more harmed than helped by this trend.
