Build PowerShell as "framework-dependent"
Before I start a time expensive and maybe unsuccessful attempt: Is it relatively easily possible to compile PowerShell from the source and make it "framework-dependent" instead of "self-contained"?
In doing so, PowerShell could be de-coupled from the .NET runtime (which is most probably already installed), and maybe an even newer runtime version could be used (currently, PowerShell has no .NET 10 packed and I have to wait for a release that supports it)...

Hi ahinterl​
PowerShell is tied to .NET.NET 10 Support will come with PowerShell 7.6 and you can already try out the preview
