Because of the flawed interpretation of UB by the compiler

No, I am talking about the actual hardware, not UB. In the 80s
there was almost 1-to-1 correspondence between C and CPU
internals. CPUs are still designed for C, but the more code shift
away from C, the more rewarding it will be for hardware designers
to move to more parallell designs.
