Since I no longer support .NET Framework, it's just .NET now.

.NET was two platforms for a while and they did a lot of weird stuff to make that work (.NET standard) but it's been one platform for many versions now so that specific difficulty can mostly be ignored.

Easy to say, but it poiets to ecosystem fracture. But I've been getting requests to support really weird and outlandish versions. Stuff like Mono and .Net 4.56

Microsoft managed a smoother transition than Python 2.x to 3.x. This kind of thing is very difficult. I don't see any reason to support Mono or .NET 4.56 anymore.
