Right, this was our conclusion as well. C# is close enough to Delphi that relearning for us that are already here is fairly trivial, while really expanding the number of potential applicants.
Oxygene would maybe make it a bit easier to write C# for some of us[1], but it's incompatible with Delphi so we'd have to rewrite code anyway. Just doesn't make sense.
If you're starting from scratch with a small Delphi team and want to target iOS and such alongside Windows, then yeah I'd consider it.
[1]: not me, I wrote C# back in the 1.1 days and feel right at home
