Most applications that ship with Windows are not written in C#/.NET. Microsoft tried to rewrite everything this way around Vista, but they failed hard due to stability and performance issues. In Windows 11/Server 2025, the only things written in .NET are administrative tools, like most MMC snap-ins (e.g. Event Viewer), Virtual Machine Connection, or Server Manager.

But a lot of people are completely out of touch, thinking something along the lines of "Clearly Golang is managed by YouTube and Google Search teams" except about .NET whenever complaining about whatever happens to Windows nowadays.
