Do these people I've never heard of outnumber the people who did upgrade but wouldn't have if it had been branded as a separate product?

I’m definitely one of these people. Maybe I should give .NET a chance.
It's quite nice now. Tooling is way nicer than it was 10 years ago. My team is all Apple silicon Macs and we deploy to AWS Arm64 instances. Unit tests in GH run on Linux workers.
Less than 50% of software engineers ever used .NET for anything, so the answer is almost certainly yes?
I encountered this within the last week...
