LINQ is very good at doing specific things, but when you need to introduce modified closures to make it do what you need, I consider that a "fudge". Smile | :)

The basic Count() method[^] has special cases for ICollection and ICollection<T>; for everything else, it has to iterate the entire list. As you say, depending on the source sequence, this could be expensive in terms of memory and/or time. It could even break if the source sequence is not deterministic.

The version that uses Count() would also fail to work with infinite sequences, whereas the version that doesn't would just produce an infinite sequence of transformed values:
C#
IEnumerable<int> AskDeepThought()
{
    while (true)
    {
        yield return 42;
    }
}

var answers = AskDeepThought().ToChunkedKvPList().Take(42);
// If ToChunkedKvPList uses Count(), this will never return.
