Apple has extended C with lifetime annotations to try and make it safer. That is against the philosophy of C. You are supposed to have guns pointed at your fingers and toes, individually, at all times. It trains the empathy out of you and prepares you to join the army.
We need more programmers to join the army, so we need C to continue its great tradition of "worse is better," which I will knowingly reinterpret in bad faith to mean whatever I want. In this case it means more stupid fucking footguns that nobody wanted to tolerate in 1972, but C made them acceptable again.
How can we force programmers to treat writing C even more like disarming a nuclear fucking warhead and less like a thoughtful craft with an expectation of productivity?
