Mathematically, you're not wrong. You can draw a line around the set of things that any particular software platform is good for, and the area outside of it will be infinite.
But people do try to do some of those things that I listed, using ASP.NET.

I was thinking you meant in the context of creating a web application but yes. You should never use ASP.Net to run any long running process even if it is kicked off via a REST call. You should use out of process web workers or some other type of queuing mechanism.
1) It's a web framework. So, not suitable for command line tools, desktop GUIs or persistent message queue workers. But you can do all of that in other kinds of C# .NET app.
2) However, .NET is a Garbage Collected language and should not your first choice for e.g. a real-time device driver or OS kernel.
