Unreal, Unity’s primary competitor, doesn’t. Mainstream gamers seem to only know about the two. Anyway, it’s a meme. I use C# for exclusively boring corporate stuff, and will continue.
You can access the Excel scripting engine from C#, but this is more of a case of C# supporting Excel than the other way around. (And you will really not want to do it if you just have to read and save data in excel files.)
I doubt they went away from VBA. While I do use C# any time I can, I can’t say the same thing for Excel. I do know there are ways to do interop, and it’s not great. Office file formats and interop have always been… awful.
Surely other engines use it? I know godot supports it. Not to mention half the business software of the world (pre cloud) seemingly built with it. etc

Oooh, I bet they will! They’re probably salivating about it.
It’s a joke built in hyperbole for sure. A lot of my friends are C# devs they’re not going anywhere.
A whole lot more than game engines uses C#.

Doesn’t Excel mainly use C#?

They actually recently added python support.
