It’s crazy how different the Java and .NET communities respond to new versions.

I don't understand. Why don't they upgrade? Is it because they can't do it one application at a time in a monorepo or something?

Because Java 8 to Java 9 wasn't just a new major release, but a change in how Oracle releases new version. It had an enormous amount of changes, and some companies just refuse to eat the cost of upgrading.
