I think the web front end could be a huge multiplier for them. It's going to take a few years for Blazor to catch up & have a chance to surpass the Node ecosystem but they have a good shot. They need more/better front-end specific tooling & a quicker feedback loop with hot reloading. There is some hope that hot reloading will make it in for next November's .NET 6 release. As Wasm & Blazor improve, I think it has the potential to be what people like about TypeScript but with less setup required or worries about missing dependency support.

We're already building with Blazor using the server-side model and it's pretty incredible. We can get massive amounts of functionality built in minutes because it's just .NET, especially with all the existing backend logic easily shared and used by those components (via signalr). The WASM mode is still a little rough but it's rapidly improving. Hot reloading will definitely make a big difference there when it arrives.
