Or to phrase it another way: Microsoft themselves failed to migrate off .NET Framework to .NET Core for the same reasons their customers are also stuck.
PowerShell Core has been available for years but still is not included with Windows.
Similarly, even new web UI components such as Admin Center are written using .NET Framework.

I'd wager it is more a question of priorities. I bet Microsoft itself sees Windows Server as legacy tech as they want everyone to move to the(ir) cloud.
Partially it is also a organisational problem. Everything you ship as a Windows component incurs a debt, which is exactly why .NET Framework wasn't able to evolve further.
