The libraries are better because they're designed with generics in mind. Most C# libraries in use today were built after generics were added, and there never was a large ecosystem already developed at the time Java has had lots of libraries thrown away due to initial lack of generics and a lot of painful migration e.g. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/generics/convert.html https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/generics/conve... A good parallel would be async-await in JS and nodejs. The entire core library and a huge percentage of the ecosystem ended up being really awkward to use after the introduction of async await. The whole ecosystem is now one big giant mess.
