That's exactly what it is. You can even cross-compile for all supported platforms.

    $ dotnet new console -n HelloWorld
    $ dotnet publish --project HelloWorld -r osx-arm64 --self-contained -o out -p:PublishTrimmed=true
    $ du -sh out
    10M

I haven't used .net. But how memory management happens when you are running a binary executable? Does it have a builtin CLR (Common Language Runtime[1])? Because CLR provides the tools for managing memory & security?

Yes, it embeds the CLR in to the application see the PR at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/43072

I've been using this for at least a year or two. With their stripping, my binaries (which use very little other than system.* and math.*) are 12M in size on each OS. I tested with today's release of version six, the binaries are about 1M smaller each.

I believe it was introduced around .NET Core 5? or 3? so at least 1 year ago
