What are potential drawbacks of Repository pattern?

• Over-abstraction: Can add unnecessary complexity for simple apps.
• Duplication: May duplicate what EF Core already provides (since EF is already a

repository/unit-of-work pattern).

• Hides EF Core features: May obscure advanced capabilities like eager loading or

projections.

• Extra boilerplate: Especially with generic repositories, which may not add much

value.
