Code inspection: Replace with LastOrDefault($args$)

This inspection reports a guarded conditional expression that first checks another condition and then uses Any(...) ? Last(...) : null. When the guard is true, the inner Any/Last pair can be simplified to LastOrDefault(...).

Example

                var result = isEnabled && items.Any(x => x.IsValid)
                    ? items.Last(x => x.IsValid)
                    : null;
            

                var result = isEnabled
                    ? items.LastOrDefault(x => x.IsValid)
                    : null;
            

Quick-fix

Replace the guarded Any(...) ? Last(...) : null pattern with LastOrDefault(...).
