Mono is focused on supporting mobile workloads while .NET core is focused on the server side.

The class library implementations are converging (1) and some other bits are shared.

Historically Mono has supported the "desktop" profile style of APIs, so it continues to support that model. We rely on that model and the APIs that come with it for Visual Studio for Mac.

This is false, Xamarin is focused on mobile. Mono has been focused on other use cases since it has existed. We successfully built Event Store on Mono and ported it to .NET and have hit surprisingly few issues. On .NET Core, our six separate attempts to port have not yet yielded anything usable.

You are trying to contradict the creator and maintainer of Mono.
