F# suffers from being a stepchild in what concerns .NET product management.

They accepted to place it on the box, but never gave it the same love as VB and C#, or even C++/CLI, and now they could rename the Common Language Runtime into C# Language Runtime, given how little outside they give to anything not C# on newer workloads.

Had F# been given feature parity with C# and VB on Visual Studio tooling and core frameworks, the adoption scenario would be much different.
