By pretty much any measure, yes.

How does the fact C is used for one thing disprove that it is used for another thing? For many embedded systems, the _only_ language available is C, and there is no OS to speak of. Many don't have file systems at all, and of those that have file systems, some don't have a concept of directories because they only need to manage a small (and fixed) set of files. Embedded systems outnumber hosted systems by at least an order of magnitude.
