It makes me really sad to read things like this. .NET/C# gives you the tools to write elegant, performant code in any domain, and really rewards high level of expertise, with stuff like advanced parallelism support, and optimizing things like memory layout with structs, really great native interop story, or the ability to write Source Generators/Analyzers, so you can develop AST-parsing compiler plugins to do stuff like automated code generation/analysis.

Imo it has a way higher skill ceiling, than something like, say NodeJS, which is supposedly part of the cool kids club.

I have literally had conversations with hardcore devs that had the 'enterprise offshore-bait' perception of the language and were surprised when I showed them all the awesome stuff you can do with it.
