I prefer the JVM over .NET primarily for one reason: Microsoft's pervasive telemetry, i.e. exfiltration of my private data, which is now part of all of their tools and enabled by default. For each tool you have to research what the trick is to disable it (when at all possible), but even then the disabling mechanism is sometimes broken (e.g. for .NET Core) or supposedly local data is sometimes accidentally sent to Microsoft anyway (e.g. for the new terminal). Also, although C# is pretty nice, Kotlin is nicer.
