Miguel de Icaza commented on a trend they've seen with the C# devs on Mono/Xamarian that matches well with my experience: the C# devs who start using F# simply do not come back.
F# is the first language built on top of a mature .Net framework, and it shows. Much of what has made C# become so great was pushed through the F# research group (remember when C# didn't have generics?... yeah...).
It is not Microsofts favorite child. It will never be the implementation language of MS's next GUI platform du jour.
Personally, looking at old XAML, Silverlight, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4, EF5, and EF6 projects... [oh hey, EF7 is out, and it _still_ has no second level cache story! Back to NHibernate everybody!... again!] ... I do not think it's a bad thing to have some distance between production and Microsofts first-run attempts at products.
