Completion needs fancier code for some languages than for others, and the C filetype-plugin does much more than just defining how to do completion. If you can find a "simple" one-line autocomplete for C C++ etc. in Vim which suits your needs, you're welcome to write it and use it, for instance by means of an after-plugin ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/c.vim (on Windows replace /.vim/ by /vimfiles/) setting the appropriate option to just that line, thus avoiding the need for a completion plugin. Bram uses C a lot: Vim itself is written in C. He is also the author of the C ftplugin and of its (autoload) completion script. I suppose that if it were possible to get a reasonably fancy C completion function (suiting Bram's needs as an author of C code) by means of a single line, it would already long be done, rather than invoking $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/ccomplete.vim and the 236-line ccomplete#Complete() function which it defines.
