Thanks for clarification! I meant more, why isn't there a C API first, but Rust, Haskell, and Go before that — that's kind of surprising or new to me.

I don't understand what you mean. There's no "official" Rust, Haskell and Go APIs for this thing either. All libraries available seem to be just what some third party made available. There's also several C libraries, just none that have been officially endorsed by the Linux kernel team.
I read the article as saying that there's no official C library but unofficial ones do exist. Quote below, emphasis mine.

Also, it looks like there is more than zero support for C programs calling Landlock APIs. Even without a 3rd-party library you're not just calling syscall() with a magic number:
