There are many companies built on a .NET stack. They will all have a terrible time if Microsoft vanishes. Most will probably vanish with Microsoft.

With any sense, those companies would band together and invest in expanding .NET core into doing what they need.

These companies have no interest in getting into that business. That's why they pay microsoft large sums of money to do it for them.

Yeah, but we're talking about a doomsday scenario when Microsoft disappears overnight. They'd rather invest in a new .NET than have to rewrite their entire stack.

Depends on if Xamarin emerges from the ashes or if they disappear along with the rest of Microsoft.
