.NET's text-to-speech isn't available in .NET Core, much less on Linux.

Isn't that because .NET's TTS is just a wrapper around OS-provided TTS services?

The mistake was having these in the core framework to begin with. It's under the System.Speech namespace and not Windows.Speech or something more appropriate.
