Perhaps it could have been treated better, but then if you compare it with Kotlin, Scala or Clojure - F# ships with the main .NET SDK. It does not need to be installed separately, no user action is required to jump into an F# project immediately or to add an F# project to an existing solution. You can simply dotnet new classlib/console --language F#, dotnet build and it is ready to go.
It could use more marketing, halo projects and word of mouth though.

And if consider Google to be a platform vendor with hands on Kotlin, then Android / Kotlin development experience is certainly much better than F# has ever achieved since its Visual Studio 2010's introduction. What F# has going for it, despite everything, is its great experience on Windows, versus Haskell and OCaml, which remain UNIX centric at heart.
