This list to me reflects a different element of the .NET ecosystem: .NET teams don't just buy into .NET, they also adopt often buy whole hog into a grab bag of other MS solutions alongside.

Are Windows Server, SQL Server, Azure DevOps, Teams, Chocolatey, and PowerGrep really a better dev experience than Linux, Postgres, Github, Slack, apt, and actual grep?

Many are debatable, but SQL Server & Windows Server are honestly a huge pain to deal with, and on top of that cost a boatload in licensing fees. Even Microsoft has decided Azure devops is a waste of time post github acquisition and it is apparently eventually going away. Teams honestly sucks in comparison to Slack.
