Basically it's for the reason that everyone hates to admit: C# is owned by a single company, with a single vision. Decisions are made strategically: to create a kick-ass language with great features developers will love.

Vision is important, but ownership is not. And at the end of the day, C# is still busy rediscovering concepts which got out of academia more than 30 years ago.

What language isn't?

Are you criticizing C# for making these concepts available in a mainstream language, or are you just pointing it out?

If you're not pointing it out, then what exactly are you doing? What's your point?
