Actually, I believe a fair amount of the work on dotnet / CLR was by
Borland originally, within their Delphi range.  But I am not sure about
that (and it's getting a good deal off-topic here, even though they made
C++ compilers).

Not much, no, but you have the logic reversed.  It is not "MS made C#,
so they get to control that language" - it is "MS wanted a language they
controlled, so they made C#".
