Ironically, .NET is positioned to use a shared runtime but Linux has all the package manager tooling and Microsoft's never took off. The buggy nature of shared runtimes on Windows meant that the culture is to ship a full runtime with your .NET app. I'm not sure going back to shared runtime libs is worth the headache but I guess if you were really resource constrained but running .NET it would work for you.
