So? What exactly is your point? I didn't see it specified in the post
that I responded to that we were only talking about client apps... Just
that MS is not using .NET.

What was said was this:

Since MS avoids .NET to a large extent for their own
applications, I simply do the same.

Client apps in one hand; Server apps in the other.

Which holds the "large extent"?

By definition, server apps are not widely distributed and constitute but the tiniest fraction of what's sold.
