Technically, maybe.

In practice, how many developers write C# on a non Windows platform? I'd say a very, very tiny minority.

On the other hand, Java is being written on all platforms and being deployed on many as well.

Plenty do - think of deploying c# web services on Linux servers / containers.

GP said "write", not "deploy".

I write C# on Linux and I am basically the only person I know who does that.

Microsoft is pushing hard with it's .Net Core offerings and that effort is designed to make C# a more universal language.

Whether that effort pays off, only time will tell.
