I agree with you, but I think this is most likely due to how relatively new open source C# is. I'd hazard that most C# being written is still done by enterprises/companies as closed source. I feel this will improve over time, as long as Microsoft continues down the road of being open, and doesn't pull back what they've been doing in the last few recent years.

Some of these features are provided by tools like Resharper, and I wonder if there isn't some kind of agreement (whether written or unspoken) where they don't step on each other's toes. To be honest, most documentation I have seen written in C# projects still makes me reach for the source code due to poor quality. Having lots of autocompleted tooling doesn't help when it comes to reading, only writing, in my experience.

Very true! My first non-work opensource C# project is from 2020 and that seemed strange at the time

This is awesome, because most CLI tools for this don't seem to work anymore (at least in my experience). I need to talk to my employer, but I'd like to open source some work I've done for generating static redirects/rewrites in IIS format (still able to be used by open source .NET), as well as a tool that will take those redirects and visit the original URL, then check that a 301 redirect occurred, with the Location header set to the appropriate new URL. I work with a digital marketing agency, and we do a lot of SEO work, including making sure old URLs match up with new URLs. I got pulled into the creation of 301 redirects, so built tooling to take care of it for me.
