It's biggest competitor (Java) has exactly the same ownership issues.
C# and .NET Core in particular give me the ability to deploy server or utility software on pretty much anything. You can build a completely self contained executable which is fantastic for deploying software on machines where you can't control the infrastructure.

Java has multiple independent implementations of the JVM spec, so while I don’t think there is any danger in either choice, java is strictly better in this regard.

So, sort of the opposite of lock in.
