I agree with others that the fast changing story on modularization (first everything comes as one package with .Net framework, then it's different packages, then it's all together again with .Net core 3), standardization (.Net framework -> .Net standard -> .Net core), makes it hard to feel like this is a stable platform, in the sense that you can understand the basic architecture of the platform and it will stay that way for some time, decades even... I personally felt .Net standard was a great investment in making a standard platform that the community could contribute to, that would, of course, move slower than the giant monolith controlled by Microsoft... but nothing about .Net standard didn't mean you couldn't choose to use the giant monolith instead, it just guaranteed some semblance of stability if that was your preference.
