>Business doesn't care much about platform...

Businesses would care about the new support bill they would get for C# support. I think there would be a little sticker shock on the part of the CFO when they saw the matching support contract.

The real problem is, they used to get all the support free. Now they have to pay. So if they switch, they need to switch to something just as reliable, equally performant, but free of support charges. Which doesn't really exist.

(Well it does, but that would be OpenJDK. Which they don't want to use. Presumably because they don't get commercial support at the level they need it.)

The people complaining want to switch to something where the commercial support contract does NOT cost money. Which kind of eliminates Java and C#.
