How does LINQ handle large-scale data streaming scenarios?

LINQ supports streaming via deferred execution, but is limited in true high-throughput streaming systems.

LINQ uses iterators that lazily evaluate elements, which enables basic streaming behavior. However, it is still pull-based rather than push-based, meaning consumers request data via MoveNext(). This makes LINQ unsuitable for reactive or real-time streaming pipelines compared to systems like Reactive Extensions or Kafka consumers.
