When I need to send someone an app, I usually use .NET Framework 4.8 because I know it's already installed on every recent version of Windows. This way all I have to distribute is a single very small exe. No need to package a framework with it.

Similar feat with .NET core usually results in a 70-80MB executable.

Is 70-80MB really a big deal to distribute in 2025?

Also if you use trim unused code and compress the executable in my experience it's usually a lot smaller than this.

That's with trim. You still have to distribute the framework. That packs a punch regardless.
