S4225 — Extension methods should not extend "Object"

Why is this an issue?

Creating an extension method that extends Object is not recommended because it makes the method available on every type. Extensions should be applied at the most specialized level possible, and that is very unlikely to be Object.

Noncompliant code example

Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices

Module MyExtensions
    <Extension>
    Sub SomeExtension(obj As Object) ' Noncompliant
        ' ...
    End Sub
End Module
