I've done some porting of VB6 into C# with WinForms. It's actually a pretty direct mapping. I wrote a converter, and then spend a few minutes cleaning up the converted code per form. Took me a couple weeks to convert a 500KB program, which mostly involved going through and converting VB6-isms that failed to auto-convert into C#. I can't imagine trying to translate something like that into such a different language and UI environment as Python. Unfortunate that they'd reject such a thing just because C# came from Microsoft.

If the statement is "if (!isGreen)", it's much clearer to say "if is not green" than it is to say "if is green is false". Putting == true or == false makes you convert a clear statement "is green" into "true" or "false" instead of just being a natural English statement. It would be like saying in conversation, "I want to go to the store is false" instead of "I don't want to go to the store".

A lot of the improvements are just logically extending the language to remove arbitrary restrictions. That's what most of C# 10 and 9 appear to be. So most of the features you wouldn't go out of your way to use, but instead stuff that used to be impossible is now possible. I can't say that I've ever wanted a generic attribute, or a constant interpolated string, but if I did want them, I'd be surprised when they didn't work. C# 8 was the last major new language features.
