There’s more to it imho. The first three are more prone to mistakes than the last. You are much less likely to accidentally alter the logic intended in a simple null coalesce than you are in if statements.

That's fair but if you had proper test coverage there wouldn't be much risk. Who has that though? Lol

None of my projects had time for reliable testing unfortunately. It was always “next sprint” or “when we have time” which never really came to fruition.
