why its simplistic bytecode compiler is acceptable in this scenario, but
would be considered useless if applied to C code.

You throw out a lot of these sorts of question, by which I mean
questions that you either /do/ know the answers to or which you /should/
know the answers to.

If a software engineering student asked me this sort of "challenge"
question it would immediately become homework: come up with at least two
scenarios in which a simplistic C bytecode compiler would be an
unacceptable tool to use, and two in which Python with a trivial
bytecode compiler would be an acceptable tool to use.  In each case
explain why.  Anyone who could not would get marked down on the course.
