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 Let alone that you're talking about .NET Framework which has been outdated for years.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 runtime is not shipped with Windows, but once installed can be updated by WU.

Only the latest .NET Framework 4.8 is shipped with Windows at this point.

The issue is in supporting older windows versions - which sadly is still a reality for most large-scale app developers.

		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.
