string.IsNullOrEmpty(myStr) has always annoyed me, why isn't it an extension method or a non-static method?

myStr.IsNullOrEmpty() just feels cleaner and more intuitive to me.

myStr.IsNullOrEmpty() feels a bit weird to me, because you have to know that it's an extension method.

Otherwise it kinda looks like you might be trying to run a method of something that's possibly null

That's the same design principle of why ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(myStr) is not an extension method
