C is more popular because of historical reasons and that it is 
the lowest common denominator when it comes to system support and 
interoperability.

The low traction compared to the big languages is not unique for 
just D. There are other good languages out there that don't have 
the same big marketing like Nim, Zig, Julia, Crystal just to 
mention a few.
