Anectodal and probably my bubble, but quite a few people had moved from C to C++ long time ago, but then got fed up with where modern C++ is heading (mostly around C++14 and C++17) and went back to C.

C++ adds more new unsafe concepts on top of C than C ever had though ;) (see std::view, std::range or good old iterator invalidation - at least in C the unsafety is in your face and not hidden under layers of stdlib code)
