As someone well versed in C#/VB please ELI5 why F# is so superior to it's OO cousins?

Seems to me like it's actually more difficult to get to the same results with functional languages especially when C# has a lot of "functional" paradigms included?

My general point was essentially that the "average" C# dev has no clue/idea about tech so much so that they don't even know F# exists.

I'm not making any assertions about OOP vs FP. Though some claims would be that with FP it is easier to maintain an application, functions are mapped to a singular result given a specific input, and with F# its got a strong type system.
