I definitely don't understand from where this question is coming from. Whoever created the library wanted to help the community , C# is probably one of the least supported programming languages within the bitcoin community compared to the other languages and having NBitcoin is great.

NBitcoin is the most complete Bitcoin library for the .NET platform. It implements all most relevant Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs).

Java more popular than C#, imo creator of nbitcoin is C# supporter so he create lib for bitcoin in C#. Just like you said, java is popular than C# if you can code in java why you not create it?

Because I write most of my clients code in c#.  This package has saved me months of development.  Ive tipped back to the project too.  There are a lot of great c# programmers too.  More implementations, the better.

Is there existed Java bitcoin core? AFAIK, NXT is written in Java, but NXT is altcoin, not bitcoin. But NBitcoin is rewriten bitcoin code in C#, it helps C# programmer develop apps, while Java can't unless you build something based on NXT.
