Thanks for the note, I try to update it soon.
MediaInfo.NET much like mpv.net was originally built for staxrip and are very important for staxrip. .NET Core or as it's called today NET 5 is not yet part of the Windows OS. That's the main problem at the moment, but I'm really not sure if it's still true for the latest Windows build.
And maybe more and more apps require .NET 5 and people start accepting it. I used .NET 5 for my dark voidtools Everything frontend, and it became surprisingly popular, it was like staxrip, mpv.net and Open with++ reviewed by www.ghacks.net and has 51 Stars on GitHub, it can be found here:
https://github.com/stax76/Everything.NET
It was built in only 3 days which is a lot less than MediaInfo.NET.
Nobody has complained about the .NET 5 install requirements, that is good. But generally .NET Framework and .NET 5 are not compatible and applications have very different requirements, for many applications a port does not make sense, and for other it makes a lot of sense. There are many factors.
.NET8 is coming out soon, it allows programs not to require that .NET8 is installed, the functionality can be included in the program, this feature was added to .NET7, .NET8 is a long-term support release unlike .NET7: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotnet-8
