EntityFrameworkCore ignores Include in queries after the update from 2.1.

Once, on one of my projects, we decided to upgrade from .NET Core 2.1 to the latest LTS version (3.1 at the time of writing). Prior to this, I had several experiences updating small projects, both from classic .NET and older versions of .NET Core. However, most of these projects used Dapper instead of full-fledged ORMs. I had only updated EntityFrameworkCore directly a couple of times, and it’s worth noting that I didn’t encounter any significant problems during those updates. Until this moment.

Or, writing complex and unclear custom configuration sections, inserting each section into the configSection with a reference to the section’s class and its assembly, which isn’t ideal either.
