Thank you for this response. It's very well thought out and nuanced. I'm not sure what the OP had to deal with, specifically, but I share the same opinions as yourself.

Promises themselves are generic async handling work horses. Cancelling a HTTP call makes sense. Does it makes sense to cancel an operation currently happening in, say, a loop? Likely not.
