Most of the stuff went over my head, Why should I care that C is no longer low-level? What exactly is considered close-to-metal in today’s time, apart from binary and assembly?

But it’s the hardware that has changed not C. As I said, with his argument Assembly isn’t a low level programming language either.
Besides, early risc cpus from the 80’s had out of order write back so this isn’t new. By the 90’s all risc were ooe. The first was the ibm 360 from the 1960’s.
I agree!
Indeed, I could have worded that a bit better. But I think we agree on the fundamental points.
