Why C# implements methods as non-virtual by default?

by

Classes should be designed for inheritance to be able to take advantage of it. Having methods virtual by default means that every function in the class can be plugged out and replaced by another, which is not really a good thing. Many people even believe that classes should have been sealed by default.

virtual methods can also have a slight performance implication. This is not likely to be the primary reason, however.
