Well yes it it does now, since C# 10 or, but in Python is have been a one liner since the beginning 30 years ago, and over the decades it has build a following. And even with recent efforts to cut down on boilerplate, C# still has more cryptic syntax than Python.
I'd argue C# is more maintainable in the long run due to the static typing, but there is no way it is as accessible to beginners.
