.NET Core was never a pure subset of .NET Framework API: it broke compatibility in some places, and it had new features/capabilities in others, leaving the full .NET Framework to catch up on those. (There's an interesting overview of some of that in the histories of the .NET Standard versions < 2, when it sometimes felt unsure if the Full .NET Framework would be .NET Standard compatible, because .NET Core had the wheel on .NET Standard.)
