When was the last time you actually used. NET? Because that's absolutely not how it is. The. NET runtime is shipped by default with Windows and updated via WU. Let alone that you're talking about .NET Framework which has been outdated for years.
.NET Framework is a Windows system component, but it's been deprecated and Microsoft is moving away from it. The modern .NET ships as either a downloadable runtime/SDK, or can be bundled with your application, meaning your app has no dependencies.
Point? I’m SRE on .Net project, we have been through 6-8-10 and its cost us about 2ish hours of work each time. As long as you don’t get crazy, .Net upgrades is just matter of new SDK and runtime and away you go.
