What about the option to just make everything asp.net one single nuget package? And how come other ecosystems/languages don't have this issue? What's the difference?

The other question is, why isn't what you posted the default, but defaulting to this <Project Sdk=...>? To me, it's a lot more intuitive, signaling that each project can have multiple framework references, vs. just one SDK attribute.

It's no different to e.g. create-react-app vs npm install react.

You're searching for ways to make things more difficult than they need to be.

Make the simple easy. Make the complex possible.

Disagree here. This is where I would quote the principles of two other language.

From Python: have one way of doing things

From Go: explicit is bette than implicit.

Is Sdk=... is just a short cut to pull in a handful of framework references? Or are there actually more things happening under the hood?

sigh I can't help it...

Python really isn't a great choice for making your case. "Have one obvious way of doing things" has become an ironic meme since forever, and toolchaining and dependency management has traditionally been a hot mess (yes, even with pip and virtualenv, just not the total clusterfudge it was before. And don't get me started on pipenv.), and only gotten better recently with 3rd party tools like poetry, or even conda.
