Now, I dislike fused operations because it goes against the DRY principle, the stream interface should be as simple as possible,

Two different reactions:

Why do Streams combine function composition and aggregate computation when it would be simpler not to? (answer: prettier look-and-feel?)
Why does every other map-reduce framework support mapReduce? (answer: to reflect the fact that map-reduce is a fused concept for most people?)
