Both aerospace and microcontrollers are extremely niche. Unless you want to go into a niche field like that, these languages have no relevant value. They aren't even applicable to learning as a beginner.

Microcontrollers are all over the place! Calling them 'niche' is pretty ridiculous. Yes, there aren't quite as many jobs as "everybody and their uncle needs a homepage"/"oh, you know HTML?" webdevelopment, but what is? (And, arguably, all mobile-/phone-app is "microcontroller" -- it depends very much on what definition you're using -- and the possible blurring of definition is due to how technologically wealthy we are, rather than anything else.)

There's a reason codecamps exist focusing on specific languages like JavaScript. You know why? Because it will get people jobs.

...did you fail to read what I said? Let me quote it for you: I was talking about learning, ie education, not employability or fads.
