Yeah except that it's literally called .NET, pronounced dot net, they included a punctuation symbol in the name. Is it a programming language for the web, nope. So why's it called that?

.NET is branding that Steve Ballmer came up with, and yes, it was originally meant to be a set of network and internet frameworks. The .NET Framework was an underlying interface that other .NET products would use. It was then superseded by .NET Core, which was later renamed to .NET.
