I think it is fair to say, that we need to realize, that .NET Core runs on all of the platforms which in Microsoft view have future (.NET Core, Xamarin, Unity and UWP). The only platform no one is really interested (from Microsoft perspective) is the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework is, from Microsoft .NET and WIndows Team perspective, a legacy burden which is unable to innovate, change or improve due to the deployment methodology. It is a dead end. I know, it sucks. I am an enterprise developer and understand the consequences. I hate it as well, but I can completely follow their rationale. They make it possible for us to develop WPF and WinForms on .NET Core which is their strategy to compensate the blow they give us.
