Set of C# libraries is nothing compared to number of libraries in Java or Python, is that a reason to hate C#?

Look at this from different perspective, you have a chance to start one of the future most popular library in Dart.

It IS a factor.

Many people choose Python because of the libraries available.

Many developers just want to ride the wave, not innovate.

there's nothing innovative about rolling auth flow yet again.

C# has everything that an average project needs. With Dart you'd need to reinvent the wheel several times for something common as medium-size mobile game.

I need good support for OpenCV and other image/color manipulation libraries. Two years ago C# totally sucked on this so I went with Java. Has it changed?

Nope.

However, it is easy to expose C methods (not entire opencv interface) to your app via PInvoke.

I do this often, and allows me to quickly pop in any native library how I want.
