Description

Some Extractors use the using pattern on StreamFactory.GetAppropriateBackingStream and some use passthrough stream on a created FileEntry and rely on the finalizer to clean up the stream. We should harmonize all extractors on a single scheme for this wherever possible.

Research direction

Locate the extractors that call StreamFactory.GetAppropriateBackingStream with using and those that pass through a stream on a created FileEntry. Compare their cleanup and finalizer behavior, then determine a single ownership scheme that can be applied wherever possible. Done means the extractors are harmonized without relying on inconsistent stream cleanup.
