Yup, it's because libary doesn't support .NET Standard/.NET Core. They won't fix it, so this wont' be fixed.

However, I am working on a totally new PowerShell module which will work on Windows, Linux and MacOs including PS7.

It will have much more features and flexibility - but I'm currently working on .NET library before I dive into PowerShell.
