Care to name some of these platforms which Java doesn't run on which .NET supports? I'm having a hard time coming up with even a very short list.

Also, Xamarin makes .NET runnable on Android with their runtime and compile it down for iOS.

.NET Microframework makes it runnable on IoT.

I don't think Android is a good example of a platform which .NET supports which Java doesn't since Java is the primary development language for Android apps...

I'm also pretty sure that embedded Java is widely deployed in IoT applications.

Well , not .NET but almost:

PS4 (MonoGame/Mono) XBox One (.NET Core on the future and MonoGame/Mono)

At least you can run c# code on those platforms. Java though is unlikely to ever happen.
