The main difference is that languages that aren't C or C++, usually have the freedom to live outside the UNIX linker model, thus they have much more richer linker tooling.

That C# model you praise, you will find it easily on Object Pascal, Delphi, Modula-2, Eiffel, Oberon, and many other compiled languages that have their own compiler toolchain, without depending on having to have object files that look like they were generated from a C compiler.
