Being in the process of writing a c++ web client, I am strongly inclined to agree with your assessment of c and web apps.
The one thing is, if someone does write c web apps - having your own set of libraries can be useful exactly then. The web has all these crazy encodings and protocols and knowing exactly which way your library does them is really useful when you use a language with no safety net or safety switch or anything.
Spent the afternoon figuring out, sort-of, the url encoding of reddit's "api" and how it interact with Qt's QURL class.
