Yes, but it is above all a culture problem.

Many developers think that they don't need static analyzers.

Actually lint was part of the original UNIX, but since it took some effort to configure and not everyone agreed with the rules, it was seldom ported to other systems, and it became part of the C culture not to use it.

I think we have to thank the LLVM project that now static analyzers are welcome in C.
