Lock you in? To what? I see it as just another option (tool) of the many available tools out there. If it is better than the rest and makes it easier to build solutions, I would consider paying for it.

If you already had cross-platform in mind, then I guess don't consider C#, or any .NET stuffs.

Use something like Java or Python, instead.

Anyway, MS don't force you to use their technologies :p

C# and .Net (both versions) are cross platform. Core being made from the ground up to be cross platform.

C# and .NET is cross platform. VS isn't.
