It does not seem that CI/CD builds netstandard2.0, only net472.

@o-l-a-v thanks for bringing this up. We used to build on netstandard2.0 and had to move to building on net472 to use some assemblies not available to us in netstandard2.0. Our work item here is to clean up the build script so that it's clear we don't build for netstandard2.0.
