I think you have the core concept down pat.

It would at least mean it is not a traditional 'console app'.

Every sense, if you think about it... .NET Core had the goal to be platform independent, but truly there is not such a thing as at some point you hit the OS and problems are there...
So they moved the dependency from your code to the loader (dotnet.exe) and left you with a pure DLL. That way they got to the level where code not only can be compiled in any platform, but the result can be run on any...
If it is OK with you:
.NET Core: compile once, run everywhere[^]
ASP.NET Core: compile once, host everywhere[^]

You can read the text of Neal Stephenson's In The Beginning...was the command line at:
Neal Stephenson's site[^] (download the zip)
It's a very interesting look at how computers became a product.
Neal Stephenson wrote in 1999
Why, then, do I say that Microsoft is not such a great operating systems company? Because the very nature of operating systems is such that it is senseless for them to be developed and owned by a specific company. It's a thankless job to begin with. Applications create possibilities for millions of credulous users, whereas OSes impose limitations on thousands of grumpy coders, and so OS-makers will forever be on the sh*t-list of anyone who counts for anything in the high-tech world. Applications get used by people whose big problem is understanding all of their features, whereas OSes get hacked by coders who are annoyed by their limitations. The OS business has been good to Microsoft only insofar as it has given them the money they needed to launch a really good applications software business and to hire a lot of smart researchers. Now it really ought to be jettisoned, like a spent booster stage from a rocket. The big question is whether Microsoft is capable of doing this. Or is it addicted to OS sales in the same way as Apple is to selling hardware?
Interesting that Stephenson understood this way back in 1999. Did Microsoft listen? It feels like it.

If they only make a billion or two dollars/year from Windows O/S, WTF would cause them to stop producing it? What was the purpose of a business, again? Especially a publicly held corporation?
Something related to money if I recall.
On the great scale of "Customer Happiness vs. Net Income", I know where I'd come in if I would be.
Or - put another way - I'd rather be traveling around the world now. Especially in the cold dead of winter, how I'd like to be prancing on a warm beach - but with (for all practical purposes) the same motivation as M$, I'm working to get . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . money.

Well the interesting thing is that Microsoft ended up making far more from licensing techno!ogy to Android (making $7 per device) than from Vista itself and with the licensing there is no overhead of devs team, managers, QA etc.
I think the salient point is: the OS business is full of pain support and toil.

As a lot of people contended and some proved control of the OS allowed Microsoft to give their applications extra features that competitors did not have.
Other than that as others have said they were making money and a lot of it.

Unsure how to attach the joke icon when I post from Chrome on Android, but...
DOS is primarily an interpreter for MS BASIC, just as Windows is merely an interpreter for Visual Basic and now C# .
