Why does visual studio uses old jquery libraries in its templates?

I recently started a new VS2017 Web application project.

I noticed, that the standard included jquery, is still version 1.10, while the most recent version on nuget at this moment is 3.1.1.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/jQuery

I can imagine that the templates get outdated after a while, but to include a version dated 2013 seems a bit strange to me.

Or is there a particular reason for this?

Two reasons.

Firstly, the 1.x branch still has legacy support for older versions of IE which has been removed from newer versions.

Secondly, because MS don't update the templates very often. That's the main reason I tend to start a new project with an empty solution and add the required features manually. This has the benefit of being up to date and also avoiding the bloat.
