That's nowhere near as bad as inline assembly. It might not be the usual way to write a web app, but it's normal C# with common libraries. Any C# dev could use that as an example if they ran into a major performance issue.

These benchmarks aren't intended to show the performance of everyday code. They show what experts can achieve on each platform. That's why they take pull requests instead of writing the code themselves from tutorials.

That's true. .NET Core high performance optimization looks more approachable.

I'd still rather see the popular way of doing things be the benchmark.
