They're not the _only_ target audience but they're surely the _main_ target audience. Users of higher-level languages have presumably made the choice that systems-level performance is not their priority.
That said, I think there's a clear case for D to be made to people who currently have an "Other language plus C" toolchain. I love D for the fact that it lets you use the high-level constructions of languages like Python but you can also drill down to systems level to optimize performance _without changing language_.
