Being possible, doesn't mean the majority of C developers make use of it.
The "n" variants are a joke in terms of security, even the C99 annex, that was demoted to optional in C11.
I call them a joke, because tracking the pointer and length separately is hardly an improvement in terms of security.
The only improvement that the "n" variants added is that the null character is always added to the end, instead of how strncpy does it, by only adding the character if there is enough space.
