csh is not the standard shell (mostly because three is no such thing as the standard shell at all),

There certainly is a standard shell. It is specified in the Open Group Base Specifications.

but it is a standard shell of course.

Though it is included in most, if not all, *nixen, csh is not required by the UNIX specification.

Scripts written for a standard shell will not run in csh.

Conceded it is outdated, its bugridden and its use is - rightfully so - discouraged. But i don't know any Unix derivate without a C-shell. SAP even has all its start- stop- and installation-scripts use csh and the SAP admin user is configured to have csh as default shell.
