Description
**Issue description**
https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet, https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tools/#driver and possibly other pages use the word "driver" to apparently mean "the thing that runs all .NET commands". But historically, the usage of "driver" within the Microsoft ecosystem has a very different connotation, specifically [device drivers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver). The repurposing of the word "driver" here thus has potential to confuse users, especially those who are not necessarily native English speakers.
I suggest reconsidering this terminology due to its potential to confuse.
