ASP.Net Core/AngularJS: Routing problems showing "/#!/" directory

I'm developing an ASP.Net Core Application that uses AngularJS (version 1). I've got a problem that when I run/launch the application, the home URL always comes out to:

http://localhost:59745/#!/

The specific question I have is towards why it's saying /#!/ and not just the expected root /.

My Startup.cs that declares the MapRoute for the application:

app.UseMvc(config =>
{
    config.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        template: "{controller}/{action}/{id?}",
        defaults: new { controller = "App", action = "Index" }
        );
});

My app.js declaring the angular seeding for the application/module:

var app = angular.module('myScheduler', ['ngStorage', 'ngRoute'])
    .config(function ($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider.when("/", {
            controller: "homeController",
            controllerAs: "vm",
            templateUrl: "/views/home.html"
        });

        $routeProvider.otherwise({
            controller: "loginController",
            controllerAs: "vm",
            templateUrl: "/views/login.html"
        });
    });

Why is my URL showing the way it is, and how can I default it to just the root / rather than /#!/?
