You are implying that people that use .net are stuck. I would say it is hands-down the best general purpose web programming language and also the goto for programming Windows apps. Sure I can write stuff in Go or Rust or Python but I don't see that any of those offer anything significantly better than .Net, including the support level, the quality of the IDE and even, God forbid, half-decent performance. Sure I would choose another language for something that had to be super fast or perhaps headless but otherwise I would choose .Net every time. Disclaimer, I have professionally used Java, PHP, C, C++ and C# but not Go or Rust.

I'd really question the claim on C#/.Net being the best Web programming language. Yes, you can eek out a performance benefit over Python, but many people prefer Python and its frameworks over C#. It's also proven to be a viable road for startups. IDEs for Python have improved a lot, and the more passionate Pythonists might fault C# for actually needing IDE tooling for being bearable... I can see why you would prefer C# over PHP, C++ and Java for Web programming though.
