"when you've got a much better language in C#"

That's subjective.

C# can accurately subtract decimal numbers without having to invoke a webservice or use a third-party library. I'd call that better.

(Note: I spend most of my time writing JS, but am extremely familiar with C# and Java)

It's not subjective. JS is only relevant due to ubiquity. Nobody transpiles to C#. (well, except for Haxe - to nitpick, but it also transpiles to Java and C++).
Because people compile directly to CIR. See: VB.net, F#, Scala.net, IronPython, IronRuby, etc.
I meant C# is awesome so you just use it directly :).
