There is probably a correlation to the slow rise of the mac platform and the slow fall of the OS X platform.

There are a ton of developers that will choose whatever language they have available and if developers are switching to mac they wont be reaching for C#. Then you have those that have moved on to F#. Objective-C has the same problem for those that have moved to swift. It is weird to think that next year perhaps 1/3 of SO developers will be on OS X. That is such a huge amount.

And in the last decade Linux has absolutely won the server market. It is going to take some time for the clr on Linux project to stop the bleed from projects that moved off c# just to move off of Windows servers.
