If its called asp.net 7 people would think its backward compatible. And since almost everything was rebuild from scratch, WebForms doesn't exists, WCF also, most important namespace System.Web is gone, it wouldn't be fair to version it with 7. MVC API looks the same, but that's about it, everything else underneath is new. MS went long way to "emulate" old MVC and WebAPI, for easier porting of old apps.

I thought major versions aren't usually backwards compatible (.Net 5.0 instead of 4.8)

  .NET runtime breaks with general versioning in that every version is backwards compatible; it follows closer to the Windows versioning where every version of Windows is generally backwards compatible with every prior version.

> WebForms doesn't exists, WCF also It's not compatible with the stuff that I always found a bit backwards. Good. The amount of time I threw out of the window as a junior developer thinking WebForms was difficult because I didn't really understand it well enough yet is horrible. I hate WebForms.

  > I hate WebForms Indeed. Things like UpdatePanels were a nightmare to work with sometimes. MVC was a breath of fresh air.
