.NET doesn't use WasmGC because Microsoft found it too different from how .NET's GC works. Which is quite unfortunate

Oh what a pity. Anywhere I can read more about that?
I can't find the actual decision, but there was some discussion here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/issues/77 Microsoft later in 2023 said that that discussion "is the current state we are in. We will keep eye on wasm GC in the future."

edit: found a more concrete statement https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/94420
