Things like this and other custom "Windows distros" are a sign that MS would have no problem selling a version of Windows that's nothing more than a base OS, but clearly they would rather take the user-hostile route.
The PC revolution started with the idea that you can own a computer. Now, by your operating system choice, you don't own it nor what it runs, you don't own the computer, and you don't own anymore the data that used to belong to you that you put there. And with your data it goes along you, eventually.
And if you decide that you must install that operating system because it runs a particular game or app, think all you are sacrificing for that as an implicit extra cost.
PowerShell 5.1 is the last of the .net framework version. Everything newer switches to .net core open source flavored which is cross platform. it's mostly compatible but not really either.

Interesting, I'd expect it to be more backwards compatible given the overall reputation
