IMO ASP NET Core/NET Core is actually pretty good; seems lighter weight than Java at least to me. Beats most web frameworks in terms of raw performance, comes with all bells and whistles (e.g. even Grpc is supported with a built in server) but bolted on only as required. i.e. definitely beats in performance many web frameworks today (e.g. Spring Boot, etc) with a bit more "officially supported" polish which can be important for adoption. The problem still is the traditional .NET conservative developer culture that I've experienced in .NET jobs IMO. It stops them from trying out the best things in their space (e.g. F# as one thing that comes to mind). NET Core as a runtime on a Linux platform is actually pretty good these days. This can vary by team and company however so not a reason to not choose the technology per se.
