It's because of Classic ASP stigma attached to it so whenever you tell people you're working with .NET they think about `runat=server` and *.aspx BS.

Even now when I tell some people that .NET is very simple, fast and runs on osx/linux they are like "Really!? No way bla bla."

Nitpicking, but "runat=server" and *.aspx are not "Classic ASP". They are ASP.NET Webforms features. "Classic ASP" is what came before ASP.NET

*.aspx is definitely ASP.NET, but Classic ASP also had runat=server silliness.

You are totally right.
