To me, the benefit of "Target-typed new expressions" is more with bringing consistency to class-scope member declarations and method-scope member declarations, so these two can look the same, and a programmer only has to read one way of declaring new members in C#:

  public class MyClass {
   private readonly MyDependency _myDependency = new();

   public void MyMethodThatDoesWork() {
       MyVariable variable = new();
   }
  }

As opposed to the (now old, IMO) var syntax/Java-like syntax mixture:

  public class MyClass {
   private readonly MyDependency _myDependency = new MyDependency();

   public void MyMethodThatDoesWork() {
       var variable = new MyVariable();
   }
  }

Edited for HN formatting.
