Isn't this over engineered? Why not allow the assignment but do nothing if any of the intermediate objects is null (that's how Kotlin does it).

That's what's new in c#14, it allows you to do

    customer?.Profile?.Avatar = "thing"

And will do nothing if the left hand side is null (not throw a null reference exception anymore)
