C compilers used to cost a lot of money and then the FSF made one and gave it away for free.
Because of GCC, a C compiler is as readily available as an assembler, which lets C spread everywhere.
Without GCC, people would focus more on making languages that don't need C because they wouldn't want to rely on a C compiler because they already have their own compiler.
