Microsoft always has 20 variants of the same name for maximal confusion. It's deep in their culture.

This is SO true!

Razor pages extension? .cshtml Blazor component? .razor

Also true the other way around, things that sound like the same but are actually different:

.NET Core, .NET Framework, .NET Standard, .NET

Bonus points for Microsoft also often using the term "framework" for labeling .NET (Core). And then there of course also is ASP.NET because of course.

Just great.
