As a software developer, DatenLokator should support retrieving bitmap images (*.bmp), in order to make the library more useful.

Why Doesn't .NET Core Provide Cross-Platform Support for Images (e.g., Bitmap)?

.NET Core and .NET (including .NET 8) do not provide full cross-platform support for Bitmap or similar image processing types from System.Drawing.Common because:

1. Reliance on GDI+:
   The System.Drawing.Common library depends on GDI+, a graphics library native to Windows, making it unsuitable for non-Windows platforms.

2. Platform Limitations:
   While some functionality of System.Drawing.Common is available on Linux and macOS via libgdiplus, the library lacks full compatibility and often results in inconsistent behavior or degraded performance on non-Windows platforms.

3. Strategic Focus:
   Microsoft has chosen not to invest in making GDI+ cross-platform. Instead, they encourage developers to use modern, cross-platform libraries like ImageSharp or SkiaSharp, which are designed for portability, performance, and extensibility.

By delegating to third-party libraries, .NET avoids duplicating efforts and leverages specialized, actively maintained solutions for cross-platform image processing.

Given the lack of cross-platform support, AsBmp() will not be added at this time.
