✅ Framework targeting
A little lost on the point of targeting multiple frameworks. Why target anything higher than your lowest target? For example, why target netstandard2.1 if you're already targeting netstandard2.0?
What benefits does a project get from targeting net48, netstandard2.0, netstandard2.1, netcoreapp3.1 and net6.0 all at once? What happens when all of these are targeted vs just net6.0 or just netstandard2.1?

I could target netstandard1.0 and net8.0 at the same time but what is happening when I do that?

So it just builds the multiple versions separately in an application?

Okay that clears up some build questions I've had in the past

So with libraries, you can only write code against what's compatible between all of the targeted frameworks?

Why target net6.0 and net7.0 if you're targeting ns2.0 which are supported by net6.0 and net7.0
i don't think you should just drop support once a tfm goes out of support

I will sleep on this information
Thank you for your help

@tebeco What about the SDK you develop with while targeting lower frameworks
Like using .NET 8 SDK and targeting ns2.0 or 2.1

.NET Standard
Learn about .NET Standard, its versions, and the .NET implementations that support it.

That's how I started wondering this question, by looking at libraries listed on nuget on github, and being required to target ns2.1 for some unity game mods
