Streaming's prevalence in an uncoordinated repo is partially explained by its self-sufficiency: it requires no preprocessing phase and no external ordering — only local reasoning about accumulator state — making it a paradigm with a particularly low adoption barrier. When each solution is developed independently without shared patterns, this autonomy may contribute to streaming's natural emergence as a dominant paradigm alongside sort-then-scan.
Causal explanation — streaming dominates because its zero-dependency property minimizes the coordination cost that the repo's isolation maximizes
