Well, the companies don't get to single-handedly decide what features to add or deprecate, thanks to C spec being written by ISO, which is why they have developed their own PLs.
Yes they can, as they add extensions to C all the time.
But also, adding dynamic arrays to C won't make the currently existing C code safer, the one they care about, because no one's gonna send the money to update their C89/99/whatever code to C23/26. Even if they did, there's no guarantee others would as well.
You can incrementally fix code, as I do with the dmd source code (originally in C) regularly.
