I think what I'm trying to get at is that they've effectively depreciated 'C' as a language without having a native alternative that allows access to all the latest operating system features.

That's 'deprecated'.

Well, maybe, maybe not. Depreciate roughly means "to decrease the value of". Deprecate approximately means "express wish against or disapproval". Recent popular (mis)usage of the latter is now infringing upon the definition of the former, depreciating its value and resulting in deprecating posts like Roger's.
