In other words: There cannot be any commercial applicaiton written in C,
because in your view it is not well suited to one or two application
types you can think of.

Your argument is fundamentally flawed in two entirely separate, both
equally valid ways.

- That it is not the most well suited does not imply that it is impossible
  that commercial software is written in it.
- There are many more commercial application types than the few you
  mentioned.


It may be that you're trolling though.  It is a very nice blanket statement
you made, one that will rile many people, and with a lot of wiggle room.
