You are right there is no simple answer but in my experience (my personal opinion) when you want to develop a platform agnostic application you are better off using Electron than trying .NET core to run smoothly on each os. Also, .net core is great and all but not everything you do with .net on windows works on Linux or MacOS.
The System.Speech.Synthesis namespace for instance which is one I use a lot. Electron is a lot more consistent.

This attempt to popularize .Net and C# for this is cute but ultimately going to fail.

I don't think we're discussing to proclaim winners or losers, just to understand more about each platform's and approach's limitations.

I don't use either so I'm definitely learning new things :)
