I don't agree that these are real pain points. Try to build desktop app in Ruby or in Python, no one cares about desktop apps. If you want to build native desktop apps you go with QT or something C++ based. .NET branding being confusing is a theoretical problem. When you work day to day with the code you don't care and it does not affect anything I work on. It is not like it somehow affects compilation or some of my code stops working. I use .NET 4.8, .NET standard and .NET Core and now .NET 6 in projects and no problems there.

>no one cares about desktop apps I take it you never used Photoshop, 3D Max, Autocad, Word, Excel, Visual Studio, Paint or Notepad.

  Word and Excel already moved to browser editions not to mention Google productivity tools. Check out web.autocad.com There are more and more painting tools available online. Cloud based IDEs are popping up more frequently. Not to forget about all web based note apps. That is the trend and no one cares about creating next Photoshop or Autocad competition on desktop. Let alone that I mentioned that if someone cares about building desktop app he goes with C++ and QT or something like that and not .NET or Ruby or Python.
