Sorry, I should have provided an updated. After basically going through all the files in Visual Studio Code and searching for "web.config" I found *.wpp.targets file that had "web.config" excluded. That was the reason.
Web.config is removed when application code is published

Whether I am publishing locally or using Azure DevOps the result doesn't include web.config file.
The file has Build Action = Content in properties.
What could be the reason?

Have you confirmed that your project contains a web.config file before publishing? How did you publish your project locally? Did you publish the project to a local folder and check the results? Please provide more details about the problem. -
