Since .NET framework is open source and can be used to create cross-platform applications. The very first non-Windows platform I would love to use it on would be surely Android, then I would love to build the apps for iOS. Once that is done, I would create apps for Mac OS.

Enough creating?

As a .NET developer, I am not interested in just developing the applications. .NET framework is huge! I have been developing applications since 2 years in pure .NET, and I have not even reached the verge or any thing near. It is very huge. I need to learn it as for now. Applying it for open-source cross-platform stuff won't be my choice.

Secondly, gaming engines can be better handled using Unity. Why should we build something new on .NET core when we already have Unity which enables us to use the power of .NET... But I really felt sad when there was no Android but Windows Phone. This survey needed to talk about non-Windows platforms. Windows-based platforms already have .NET framework! Not a big deal, and all of us have already created enormous amount of programs in .NET framework.
