You are right. Its not the job of the committee to support anything. They just have to vote on proposals.
Imagine Linux devs would start worrying about what "C standard" wants xD.
In my industry (gamedev), folks never needed to worry about how non-standard our code is either. As long as it ships on relevant half-dozen platforms and gets job done, its fine. One does not get a Boy scout badge for being standard compliant.

In C++ if you’re not standards compliant you are running the risk of hidden UB big time. Maybe your compiler will reveal it to you, probably not. Good luck!

Same with C, no game developer has ever lost sleep over that.
In fact they rely on lots of hardware UB for some console tricks.
