There are options, there are always options, but they are typically 2nd class, incomplete, poorly supported, or otherwise substandard.

For example, first line of the readme for icu-dotnet (emphasis mine):

> icu-dotnet is the C# wrapper for a subset of ICU4C

ICU4C has quite a bit of cruft at this point, so the useful subset is perfectly reasonable. You can always add anything to these layers you want, but it's really not worth the effort.
