That ignores the psychological phenomenon where scarcity implies value.

"preferred" is not valuable with qualifying that.  "Preferred" by who?  It is already preferred by 
the beginning programmer.  The employer however may actually use the "C# is harder" as a natural 
filter to weed out the less capable / dedicated programmer.
