I think .NET is still seen as if it's Windows-only or Windows-first. If it does start being used cross-platform, I think it will take a lot more time to get there, especially since Java has been working just fine for the same sorts of projects. And it's an especially hard sell given that it doesn't have a good GUI situation. Support for Windows GUIs is back since .NET 5, but the cross platform options are weak. It's very possible when the MAUI library finally releases that we'll see more people deciding to use .NET.

Or do we now only count Microsoft-made solutions and then whine that .NET is not open to OSS?

AIUI, MAUI does not include Linux support. There was a third-party effort to get that going, but it's not part of MAUI proper, and it looks somewhat moribund. https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux
