> .NET is about extending an existing application (Servlet API vs IIS)

I don't think this is true anymore since ASP.NET Core. While you can still run under IIS but it's a more typical reverse proxy setup instead of running inside IIS.

> You can't wrap streams in .NET

You've always been able to wrap streams in .NET so I'm not sure what you mean by this

Yes ASP.NET core is a big improvement; I recently tried .NET again on my Linux machine and was able to run .NET and skip using Mono.

If we want to compress a file we normally just wrap the file ouputstream in a GZIPOutputStream so we add features by wrapping it.
