C# is pretty popular in the US as well in certain spaces... especially Govt or Banking and adjacent environments. Mostly line of business applications. I'd say Java is slightly more popular, but I never really liked Java's ecosystem ergonomics, though they're better today it's just not for me.

Similarly, I'm not a fan of "Enterprise" development regardless... I find a lot of .Net shops, like Jave, just create a lot of layers of indirection and abstraction that only lead to excess complexity, cost and difficulty in both maintenance and enhancement. The older I get, the more my mindset shifts to make things that are easy to replace without adding undue complexity or patterns.

The problem with enterprise apps is that they're usually wide but shallow. Which means a ton of classes that don't do a lot and managing class complexity is actually the biggest challenge.

So it's just a very different type of code and you can point at the language, but the reality is that it's the domain.
