In my mind, with OpenSource being more and more well regarded, the disdain for C#, a language once Windows-only, grows larger.

Probably just a bias in my circles, as we're heavy OSS users and contributors..?

I mean, ms has released net core 3.0 (fully open source), blazor, and ml.net. F# has always been open source. They also made private repos free on github, released vs code, released zero and deepspeed for pytorch and published the state of the art NLP model along with it. So I'd say your circles probably have a justified chip on their shoulders from the old days.
Microsoft was one of the biggest OSS contributors before they bought GitHub :)
