Ask them: but I suspect it's along the lines of "because we wanted to".

I think because Xamarin is a high-level-language converter (to java or cocoa) rather than a low level MSIL converter?

Not quite. Xamarin's technology provides C# bindings to the Java Android and Objective-C iOS and Mac API surfaces. There's no language conversion. The binding is done at run time by replacing (on Android) the Dalvik/ART VMs with their own. Which is why one can build very high performant apps for Android/iOS/Mac in C#.

Well you can, just not so sure it's a good idea.

It's an excellent idea.

I agree, I wonder if I'll actually get what I ordered, if I'm holding a javalin? Who am I kidding, it'll still be wrong..

There's your big mistake: Holding it is no use. Spear a few of the buggers to incentivize the remainder.

It's McDonald's; even if you get exactly what you asked for, it would still be wrong.
You do know their "100% Beef burgers" contain a mixture of cow eyeballs and worm meat[^]? They're only allowed to call them "100% Beef burgers" because the small amount of beef they contain comes from a company called "100% Beef Company". 
Link[^] for the gullible fools who thought that was real!

I imagine the same could be said of most fast food places and a lot of non-fast food places, the all mighty dollar wins every time.

Back in the day in London I got kicked out of a hotel by a psychotic manager at five in the morning. Turned up at the Charing Cross Mickey Dee, with the duvet I'd nicked and my backpack.
It was December.
I ordered a Big Breakfast.
The manager told me to take a seat, and he'd bring my meal over.
He called me 'sir'.
I don't know about youse guys, but I'm lovin' it.

Xamarin is specifically a Visual Studio plug-in that allows the .NET community to write cross-platform applications. Xamarin has only ever been intended to work with .NET.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Not quite. You don't need Visual Studio to build Android, iOS and Mac apps using Xamarin.

Come to that, you don't need VS to build C# apps for windows either...the .NET framework ships with csc.exe
