Senior SE working in a company which has its services built almost exclusively in .NET. C#/.NET is not a major contributor to our expenses - the language of choice could've been Go, Rust, Python or, god forbid, Java - just replace Rider or VS Code with IntelliJ or other tooling and use a different base image when deploying to k8s. If you use MSFT products you might be incentivised to use C#. However, there is no incentive to not go C# when you use something else. I also found OSS process for the core libraries and runtime to be very inclusive - everyone can contribute as long as the change produces measurable and meaningful improvement serving interests of a wider audience.
