Most .NET devs only need to be peripherally aware of these changes, as most businesses using .NET will move slower than Core's new pacing. It's even less important for lower seniority devs as you typically need project changes to utilize new features, which is a call a senior would make, which involves approval/testing/deployment, so a slow process which gives you time to read up on the new features as they're needed.
You're better at your "craft" the more tools you know about and how to apply them, but if your day job prevents you from following the new stuff, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
>I feel .NET Core after a good start is falling into the typical Microsoft trap of constantly cranking out new stuff to do the same thing and leaving it to developers to keep up.
Yeah, the pacing has increasing dramatically from .NET Framework days, but that's probably a good thing. I would just stick to learning about what you do in your day job. .NET has a huge ecosystem compared to other languages, so it's going to be very hard to keep up with everything MAUI is doing if you're doing regular ASP.NET core APIs.
