The "authoritative opinion" is indecisive. Microsoft frameworks tend to be high quality, but there are too many. ASP? ASP.Net? ASP.Net Core? ASP.Net MVC? Razor? Blazor?

Well, you’re covering about 23 years of development there between ASP and ASP.NET Core.
Don’t get me wrong, the naming sucks. Microsoft is far more likely to recycle names for marketing reasons than just introduce a new name for plethora of stupid reasons.
But Active Server Pages means nothing anymore. It stopped meaning anything since 2003 but they use it as a brand name than anything. It’s no less stupid than gulp, bower, webpack, bun, deno, express, koa, next, vite, etc.
The only difference I see between both is that there is an authoritative opinion when it comes to .NET (Microsoft) while there is no authority figure when it comes to node/Javascript. Even the actual runtime, package manager, module resolution, build tools etc get forked and replaced but since there is no authority, everyone is like "lets wait and see who wins". While with a language like .NET (or Go for that matter) you know that whatever comes from Microsoft (or Google) is the authoritative answer and people are more likely to jump to it right away.
