EF Core (like ASP.NET Core) ran on .NET Framework until version 2.1. Everything after that requires .NET (Core).
As far as I know they have been using .NET Core (or just EF Core? would be weird to go EF Core + .NET Framework, I guess?) on prod in 2018:

So maybe they used some things on Linux and some things on Windows - those that couldnt be ported to .NET Core back in the days
