Microsoft's management keeps undercutting any good will that .NET manages to win, that is why.

Recent examples MSTest being proprietary for Native AOT testing, and no plans to help improve xUnit into that direction.

New VS Solution format, that might only be supported on the C# Dev Kit, also under VS license.

Killing VS4Mac, which although it has its own set of issues, VSCode still doesn't provide the same level of tooling for Mac and iDevices development as VS4Mac did, forcing anyone that cares to go out and buy Rider licenses instead.

The dotnet watch removal drama to only have hot-reload available on VS, thankfully back pedalled only thanks the engagement of high level .NET developers, with help of the community backslash on social media.
