  In my opinion it's more useful when declaring class members, e.g.: public class SignPost { public List<string> Messages { get; set;} = new(); private List<string> Errors = new(); } In both of the above usages var is not allowed. Often-times instead of a simple list you have something like an IReadOnlyCollection<T> or an equally-abominable custom type that is just a pain to write out 2x for every time you add it as a dependency somewhere.
