> The writing was on the wall a long, long time ago! The vast majority of ASP.NET Web Apps could not have migrated to .NET Core 1.0, it was missing too many features. It was missing types like 'securestring', and had zero support for Workflow Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, etc... At the time, .NET Core was also advertised as "an alternative platform for Linux apps", not as a direct replacement for .NET Framework. It was only in .NET 5 that Microsoft changes their tune and started calling Core the "replacement". At the time, something like half of complex enterprise apps might be able to migrate across, but they would have encountered a long list of breaking issues with a note saying "we might fix that in an upcoming major release". That's after a partial rewrite. You can't go to a business that has a web app that's "not bro

ken" and suggest migrating it to a definitely broken platform that's very much still playing "catch up". Support is improving in .NET 7, and the upcoming .NET 8, but it's definitely not 100% and pretending that it's the "end users' fault" for not jumping onto an incomplete and buggy platform is not helpful. I'll list some random GitHub issues for you to perouse. For large enterprise apps, many of these are showstoppers for incremental or seamless migrations. The workaround is always "rewrite everything from scratch using wildly different technologies that aren't direct replacements."
