To be fair, it’s not that they’ve really fallen behind – aren’t they running the LTS version of .NET Core now? It’s more that they weren’t there “on-launch” for .NET 5. It could be much worse – the AWS support for .NET Core has only just reached the LTS version.
I suspect the reason for the delay is that the change to the hosting model is quite significant. From a performance perspective the hosting model used by other languages wasn’t as performant as the .NET hosting as it runs out of process. I would imagine that a lot of work has gone into tuning the new hosting model for .NET to ensure it meets and perhaps even out-performs the hosting of other technologies. This would be particularly difficult if they’re going to try to support “BYO” framework in the form of self-contained services.

This will change with the new hosting model (actually it’s basically the same hosting model that’s used for all other frameworks other than .NET) is introduced for .NET 5 support. Yes, Azure Funcs have fallen behind. It's irritating as I have to maintain their projects as a special case. I did read somewhere that they're working on it, but I can't quickly find any fresh good news -- GK
