Why is it that interface methods are not declared as virtual and the implementing class does not use override when declaring the method from the interface? Is it just how the runtime handle interfaces?

Found the answer. interface methods are not virtual because you are not required to override virtual methods which is somewhat contradicting to the "contract" you get from implementing an interface. right?

That's a good way to look at it. Another is that virtual can only apply to real methods. Interfaces don't have methods, they're a contract. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to have their methods as virtual.
