2 years ago .NET Standard is an API definition and not a framework. .NET Framework, .NET Core and .NET implement this standard, but they can have different behaviors. You have to define exactly which Target Framework you want your test to run and so having a .NET Standard test project is not possible with SpecFlow and SpecFlow+ Runner.
The xUnit people explained it very well here: https://xunit.net/docs/why-no-netstandard and we share the same opinion on this.
