From https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/09/net_core_still_a_microsoft/, people are wondering why there isn’t a greater uptake of Microsoft’s cross-platform, open-source versions of Dotnet and C#:

"What's up with non-.NET developers thinking C# is a Windows only, corporate bloatware language? It's not 2005 any more."

Yeah, but it’s not clear why we would want *cross-platform* bloatware ...
