The work was already done for them, as LINQ is just do-notation from Haskell.

No, Linq is *not* in any way like Haskell's `do`.

Linq is a (reasonably) compromised, non-referentially-transparent, implementation of a restricted form of relational-algebra with side-effects permitted, so I'm not comfortable describing Linq as "monadic".

Whereas Haskell's `do` is strictly monadic.
