I think it’s definitely a dig at windows, because that used to be the primary issue with c#, you could only really target windows and you could only write it using windows. You could run .net framework applications on Linux, but it was a lot of work and it really underperformed (which would fit the timeline of 2015, when this comic was first posted). Now with .net core you can make a self contained executable that can run on anything.
C# is .Net though. It’s only syntax without it.

You can even compile to a native executable these days I believe so you don’t have to have the .net runtime installed or bundled.
2015? I’m sure last time I saw this it was way before 2015
