.NET Standard existed and still exists as a bridge for .NET Framework and "odd" platforms like UWP (effectively dead), Unity and maybe a couple of others - you never know! Fortunately it slowly but surely fades into obscurity as all the actively developed platforms are converging around pure 'net6+'-based TFMs.
Special note regarding "being stuck with .NET Framework" - this may be true for some enterprise scenarios but I have grown to adopt a mental model of considering opinions like these as nonsensical or deeply out of touch with reality as much more useful way of dealing with audience that still lives in this camp. It is not worth entertaining, nor it is reasonable to respond to "move fast and break things" criticism after all these years - some people just have a bone to pick, for the pace is "moderate" and there are no changes made like in the early days of .NET Core 1.x and 2.x when the platform's fate was uncertain.
