People do what they are accustomed to and what is easy. Library 
writers are more likely to do allocation for you if they can 
forget about ownership.

I am more likely to use several single object "new" calls in C++, 
and more likely to do a "shared malloc" in C. C++ support RAII, C 
doesn't. "shared malloc" is a cheap version of RAII.
