Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

### Describe the bug

I'm currently learning ASP.NET Core.
From an empty .NET 9 Web application, I added a wwwroot folder with an index.html file.

In Program.cs, I used UseDefaultFiles and MapStaticAssets as follows :
```C#
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseDefaultFiles();
//comment the line 13 and uncomment line 14 to make it work
app.MapStaticAssets();
//app.UseStaticFiles();
```

- When I go to the [web site without sepifying the index.html page](https://localhost:58716/), I get a 404 error.
- If I [specify index.html](https://localhost:58716/index.html), no 404 error, but I get the console error net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED 200 (OK) as reported in [issue #58940 ](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/58940).
- If I replace the call to MapStaticAssets with a call to UseStaticFiles (the commented line), everything works fine.

### Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is simply to see my index.html page rendered by the brower.

### Steps To Reproduce
