I've had people tell me this was an advantage because there are some

Is there an actual, real, working C compiler that has char sized as
anything but 8 bits?? This one thing alone would kill, oh, 99% of all C
code?
Yes. Those chips exist, and there are Standard C compilers for them. But every
bit of C code compiled for them has to be custom rewritten for it.
