I understand that being a problem for Rust, but not for many of the other "better than Java" languages on this list. Like, I dunno....C#?
If I'm being honest though, I just really hate Oracle, and that's enough to give me pause over anything they dip their fingers in.

I think C# is probably more popular than it advertises here, but not on GitHub.
C# is regularly under-represented in OSS, in part because for most of it's existence, the primary implementation (.NET Framework) was not open source or cross platform. It is also very popular in fields where open source is not the norm (game development, bespoke backend infrastructure, embedded apps).
I said it was easy to find C# developers, not that there were more of them on Github.
If the number of possible contributors on github is the big factor here then Python is the obvious choice at 18%.
