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.
This was a sidecar application distributed by literally millions of installs per day - so having a 25MB "self contained" build was out of the question - we were targeting KB-sized distributables not 10's of MB.
