The rest of the world has. If you're going to use .net, there's almost zero chance that you'll get permission to use F#.

For whatever reason, C# devs seem incredibly resistant to even just looking at F#.

Do you want reasons? Here are a couple from someone that has learned ML with Caml Light, and most of the latter ML variants.

VS Tooling lacking versus C#/VB, no support for code generators, no support for Roslyn, no support for GUI frameworks, no support for EF tooling, many .NET vendors don't support projects if using F#, community likes to create their own wrappers instead of embracing standard .NET projects, ....
