I think it depends. .NET on UNIX has allowed it to survive in some places. I don't think I would still be a .NET developer if it wouldn't have happened. It's far easier to sell .NET as a technology to upper management now than we can deploy it on Linux servers with no Windows Server licenses cost. And even though developing on .NET is fun for a lot of developers, using Windows Server is definetly not.

While on others the rewrite required to move from .NET Framework into Core, while leaving 20 years of Windows only libraries behind has prompted several polyglot shops to jump ship. I have done two such migration projects. The reference to Sitecore was an example of one of the strongest .NET CMS on the enterprise space that now is having a portfolio based on .NET, Java and NodeJS. Microsoft always behaves as if rewrites weren't a cost center, but they are and with Core, alongside the whole desktop mess, many have reached their rewrite budget with Microsoft technologies.
