I tend to shy away from extension methods (in C# ), as it violates ‘code cohesion’ principle of software engineering.
Then, why is it there? or is my understanding wrong?

On the contrary, I believe judicious use of extension methods improves code cohesion, as you can put methods and classes doing related tasks together. The situation is no different from free (static) methods and Koenig lookup in C++, extension access with
.is merely syntactic sugar.
