I’m claiming that MSFT seems to care really about P/Invoke and FFI performance and it was one of the leading reasons for them not to choose green threads. So there has to be something in .NET or C# or win forms or whatever that is influencing the decision.
I’m also claiming that this isn’t a concern for Java. 99.9% of the time you don’t go over FFI and it’s what lead the OpenJdk team to choose virtual threads.

I’d love to, but dealing with async/await is a pain :)
