The lack of an available runtime implementation, or the transitive dependencies of the dynamically linked reference assemblies, does not preclude the compiled assembly from being cross-platform. The assembly within the file built by a C# compiler contains IL code that can be extracted by cross-platform tooling. There’s nothing OS-specific at that layer.

We are talking about the language, not the runtime implementation.

We're talking about what language people use and why. How well it runs on their platform in practice is a much more relevant factor for that than how cross-platform it is in theory.
