In the case of F#, the use cases are diminishing with every new C# release, since C# is getting better and better at the things F# is supposed to be strong at (record types, pattern-matching, etc.). Better to write the thing in C# using modern features of the more popular and capable language.

F# can be nicer to use for a functional programming style.

It's not always about the features such as keywords, built-in functionality and types. It's also how language features work together.

C# is more fit for an imperative or OOP style when F# is more fit for a functional style.
