Why .Net minimal API is being embraced by .Net developers and Controller approach is being reduced?

Though MVC Architecture or rather controller approach gives structure to coding and easy to adopt but in case of performance it goes far ahead than other languages like Node.js or Go based API developments.

Pros:

Great for performance.

Makes Microsoft a competing edge over other open source technologies.

Cons:

Messy Program.cs.

Hard to define Data Annotations or Authorization rules.
